I've a small list of free references on typography and TeX / Latex which I put together as the beginning of a re-design of my personal web pages: http://members.aol.com/willadams/books-free-type.html www.tug.org has some more references, esp. a link to the books list in the TeX FAQ (which has a run-down on relative merits of different texts if memory serves).
