The Elements Of Typographic Style, Robert Bringhurst. Just enough to be dangerous, and a great read to boot.

It's a beautiful book just to have around to flip through! I have to admit I only bought it to look at and not read through.
This is more than just enough to be dangerous, this is more or less the bible of using typography and typesetting, but not type design.
If OP is still reading, this comment is correct. The book I recommended is great, but doesn't fit your needs.
