Bibliography

Web typography lives at the intersection of tradition and technology. This bibliography lists some of my favorite references in Typography (all are on the theoretical side, but Bringhurst gives some solid practical advice), CSS (all include theory, so these older sources are valuable), and Grids (which I encourage you to read while remembering that grids were orginally intended for static print pages).
