Author: Edward R. Tufte
Name: The Visual Display Of Quantitative Information
Rating: 2.5 stars

Nowhere near the quality I was expecting. Tufte has mainly one point, "eliminate as much non-data ink as possible", and he keeps repeating this in various ways and going to extremes like eliminating axis lines. When it comes to practical advice on how to create effective graphs, this book comes up short.
