Is there one typography book you'd recommend in particular to start with?

Wow thanks for taking the time to share all of this.

I'm a fan of 16px + for body copy. I think the browsers have it right most of the time with the default font size of 1em == 16px. You've got me thinking of experimenting with 18px now though.

Where does the 65 chars per line come from? I've heard 2 to 3 English alphabets length but I don't know the original source of that guideline.
