F30 - a book that I really wish to get hold of...

I got to know this new book from PPaper magazine (taiwan), "F30: 30 Essential Typefaces for a Lifetime"... from the cover there's the list of 30 fonts mentioned, namely:

• Avenir (This is Club Med official fonts for most copy)
• DIN (designer's favourite, UTS DAB official font)
• Fruitger (a classic)
• Futura (another classic)
• Gill Sans (of couse)
• Helvetica (what? You never heard of it??)
• Meta (my idol Erik Spiekermann's classic)
• Univers (really universal)

As a font freak, get to know your font and apply the best suitable typeface for your work is essentials. Typography is how I judge a designer with a keen eye or not. That's why I really would like to buy a copy asap.
