I'm trying to figure out the grid, but I'm having a bit of trouble. I've been reading a few books (thanks to some recommendations!). Unfortunately I haven't gotten to A Type Primer yet, which is the book I wanted to pick up the most. After checking out the MCAD Library I found it's on the reserve shelf! Blast! I might buy it on Amazon though.
PS- here is a comparison:

John Kane's "A type primer" is pretty definitive. It covers basics (you'd probably just use it for reference) as well as more advanced layout rules and suggestions. The section I go back to the most is bit on grids. :) Love grids.

This book is amazing also, but also amazingly expensive.
I like the way you were going with the first one better. I think it has more going for it. I love talking type whenever also if you need a type buddy.
