The Wall Street Journal Guide to Information Graphics: The Dos and Don'ts of Presenting Data, Facts, and Figures
Dona M. Wong
Dona Wong now works at my employer, so I thought it would be interesting to read her book. It came highly recommended by a couple of friends. I’ll admit that I was skeptical that it would be of interest to me, because I feel like I’m pretty good at data visualization. I was partly right in that there weren’t a ton of new insights for me, but there were definitely some good ideas that I hadn’t encountered before.
The book is admirably straightforward and spare, except for the end part, where there is some useless filler added in that isn’t related to information graphics.
