Getting it right with type – the dos and dont’s of typography – Victoria Squire
An absolute must and its part of your required reading
Stop Stealing Sheep and find out how type works
Erik Spiekermann & E.M. Ginger

This book is simply brilliant. Expensive and hard to get hold of but a pure wealth of typography imagery and expression

Type and Typography – Haslam and Baines
Probably one of the most useful typographic reference books to own
Penrose Annual 1937 – a definite wish list – I bet its a classic glimpse of graphic design history
If you can hold of this grab it – its a type classic
