Thinking With Type by Ellen Lupton
The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst
The Complete Manual of Typography by James Felici

Drawing Type & Lettering
Designing Type by Karen Cheng
Logo, Font & Lettering Bible by Leslie Cabarga
YouTube & Instragram videos of lettering & calligraphy. Seb Lester, for example.

Desk Reference

The Typographic Desk Reference by Theodore Rosendorf

Online
ilovetypography.com
typographica.org
fontsinuse.com
smashingmagazine.com (with a grain of salt)

practice.typekit.com

There are many starting places for learning experiences. These are just a few. What am I reading? I'm still working on getting through Gerry's list for MATD students.
