A well thought out book, but rather padded out.
Could be a lot shorter and still convey the same level of information. Good ideas on layout and clarity of tables and graphs are conveyed and demonstrated, and there are some good pointers in there even for experienced analysts, designers and presenters.
I dont necessarily agree with all the points in the book (which is not unusual) but it is thought provoking in it's own way.

My personal preference in reports that I write is for pictures and graphs - and what this book does is give you a step by step breakdown on how to present data logically and in a way that people can absorb the data
What it draws the disticntion between prety pictures and diagrams that draw you attention to the point of the data.
When presenting to senior managers this is essential and an often missed skill - they have very little time to absorb detail and so a way of portraying the data in a way that emphasised the point and makes it simple is to be welcomed
The book is a step by step approach to to presenting various types of data in the most effective way and I think it will be a guide for me for years to come - if you present data or reports then you should read this
Perhaps I should not say this this bit but I was recommended this book by a colleague at the Office of National Statistics when I was looking for guidance in this area and if they use it ...

beautifully printed and bound - too good to write notes in as the author encourages so mine is filching with post-it notes instead. This stuff feels like I should remember it from way back when in school, it all makes so much sense. only 1/5 of the way through and already im looking at most of my existing work and flinching.
