"The Elements of Typographic Style" in conjunction with Erik Spiekermann's and E.M. Ginger's "Stop Stealing Sheep" was my go-to reference in University when I was trying to become more adept at typography. However as time has passed I have supplemented those terrific books with just 2 new volumes "Type Matters" by Jim Williams and "The Anatomy of Type" by Stephen Coles. Both are far more exciting and visual in their representation of typographic tenets. Personally I like having different books with different approaches to how they express their typographical philosophies.
