>I want a basic intro to typography....

There is no better introduction than Fernand Baudin's "Typography and
Why it matters." It's not a primer on subjects such as "what does
Avant Garde look like," or "This is a good font for books." It is a 
good primer on the things you need to know before the rest should be
considered. He's a lovely writer, to boot.

[My copy is at work, so I may have munged the title--look up Baudin
in "Books in Print" and improvise :-)]
