5.0 out of 5 stars All the advice you need in one slim volume, 24 Nov 2003
By Neil Pettinger (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book. If everybody who produced tables and charts were to read and digest even a tenth of what it says, then the business world would run ten times as smoothly!

It combines a lot of theory from a lot of different sources and packages it into a very practical book that can be either read cover-to-cover in one go, or dipped into as and when needed.

The tone is fairly prescriptive - perhaps a little too unequivocal at times. I run training courses in communicating information and have encountered some of the arguments made against - for example - the use of gridlines in tables or the use of 'snappy' titles for charts. So perhaps a slight criticism would be that the book could've recognised more of the arguments against some of its precepts.

But that is a very minor quibble. Let's face it, textbooks need to be prescriptive to be any good and this one certainly packs a lot of prescriptions into its 140 pages.

Amazon could do a lot worse than offer this book as a 'Perfect Partner' every time someone orders Microsoft Excel!
