Designer Robin Williams has crafted a series of text books showing non-graphics design folks the basics of making design elements work for them. The second edition of this 'design and typographic principles for the visual novice' is very useful for acquainting readers with rudiments.

The four principles of Proximity, Alignment, Repetition and Contrast are discussed. Examples are given and short quizzes (since it is a text book) are included.

The section titled 'Designing with Type' categorizes type faces into six general styles that are useful for making appropriate typographic decisions. A useful little book that will help many people.
