Is there one typography book you'd recommend in particular to start with?

I've been reading this one lately, it's not so much practical typography, but rather the history and backstories of types. I find it quite a fun read, and it can inspire your interests and appreciation for types, if you don't already know much about typography.

Butterick's Practical Typography[1] is free online and a really good read.

To go beyond just one book there are good posts and book recommendations on Typekit Practice[2].

I’m not sure if there’s a better book out there for UI design in general, but The Elements of Typographic Style[1] was the typography bible.
