Highlights
Quality
Unlike many technical books on the market today few also has produced a high quality colorful book that also would make a great gift
Love the paper quality and how the colorful chartsgraphs get to print on a nice thick book
He starts with the basics on how our brains sift through images what we focus on what distracts us and why
I have been a fan of techniques for improving visual information and information design starting with the tufte book in 1983
Price
A great deal for a very small price
Tufte is great but not for teaching principles in a systematic way
Tufte is theory and few translates that theory into practical and pragmatic techniques
Packaging/appearance
Book was brand new still in the plastic packaging and just what i needed for class
Competitiveness
Otherwise stephen few has solid books available on the market
