In this video, we're reviewing Edward Tufte's book, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Tufte is a renowned statistician and graphic designer, and this book is a classic on the subject of graphic presentation of data.

Script:

I picked up The visual display of quantitative information by Edeward Tufte years ago from a used book store. It is a book I did not like the first time I read it. I thought most of the advice was common sense. Over the years I have opened it up time and time again. I think this is because in my profession I am called on to present quantitative information. To make sure my graphics are effective I check it against the principles outlined in this book. Chart junk, data-ink, small multiples are all valuable principles to review from time to time.
This book has gone from being an initial lukewarm read to a time-tested treasure.
