4.0 out of 5 stars Makes important points clearly, but at length, 4 Feb 2009
By David Allsopp (Worcestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tufte's book includes a range of beautiful examples of information visualisation, but also wanders off in places in a slightly self-indulgent way, and uses a lot of space to cover some of the examples (Tufte self-published the book, I believe, which might explain this).

In the same way as "The Design of Everyday Things" causes you to look at door handles in a new light, you never look at a chart or diagram in quite the same way after reading one of Tufte's books; bad design will leap out at you once you've seen examples of good design.

He also includes the obligatory powerpoint-bashing, but in good humour.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful - but not very practical, 24 Jan 2009
By Jane Thostrup Jagd "Q-rocks" (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Super beautiful book - and that's more or less that. No practical guides - on a dark day waste of money.
