BUY THIS

This is Tufte's best book in my opinion, maybe because this was his first book I bought. I use this book weekly. I learned many good lessons from Tufte.

An inspirational experience

Everybody should read a book like "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" and I do not mean the professionals in the field but really everybody. Tufte really opens your mind and makes you aware of the possibly malevolent or just misleading representations of data we are faced with every day on magazines, newspapers, TV and the web.

masterfully produced

This was the first of three books written by Tufte on graphical displays. This book has been heralded by famous statisticians and average readers as an eloquent description of the how to and how not to make graphs. Now in its sixteenth printing, this is still a classic and the pictures tell the story along with the prose.

Amazing and most useful for professionals working with data

To put it simply, this book is one of the very best I have ever had in my hands. The subject is of utmost importance to everyone having to convey quantitative information to non-specialist audiences. The book is both very thorough in the treatment of the subject and extremely pleasant to read. You read it for fun and you learn enormously in the process. In addition, the typography and layout of the book are in perfect sync with its message. A stunning piece of work.

A timeless classic in how complex information should be presented graphically. The Strunk & White of visual design. Should occupy a place of honor--within arm's reach--of everyone attempting to understand or depict numerical data graphically. The design of the book is an exemplar of the principles it espouses: elegant typography and layout, and seamless integration of lucid text and perfectly chosen graphical examples. Very Highly Recommended.
