As a fun, readable historical reference on the history of letters and the influence of tools on letter shapes, I would suggest *The 26 Letters* by the late (alas) Oscar Ogg. I'd forgotten about it, even though it's what started me on calligraphy, until I saw a copy of the second edition, being sold for cheap (remaindered?) at a local book store. Cheers, James Jones
