I am looking to get a good typography book for web page design, some basic print work and general paper writing. I checked Amazon and The Complete Manual of Typography looked pretty good but I don't know if I should get something instead. Thanks for any help.

In addition to? Instead of? Amazon doesn't have it in stock... I know I shouldn't base my decision on that but I like Amazon... heh. Does anyone know anything specifically about the book I am looking at?

Best book on Typography is Stop Stealing Sheep and Find Out How Type Works from Peachpit.
