Beautiful
For quite some time I’ve been waiting for the release of the Edward Tufte book - Beautiful Evidence. And a recent note on his bulletin board showed the book in production and ultimately for sale.
Over the last several years Tufte has been slowly revealing more about the book, offering up chapters and sections for evaluation and suggestion to fans/practitioners on the forum — typified by the fantastic sparklines thread. (definitely a precursor to the web 2.0 darlings wikis and other collabrative technologies).
Tufte’s books are always fantastically produced — he show great care and attention to all aspects of the printing, bindery, colour proofing — and it shows. Each of his book is as gorgeous as it is informative. Defintively on the wishlist.
