About This Item
Cheshire, CT: Graphics Press, 1984. Very good in a good jacket.. Second printing of the original edition of this indispensible standard. Self-published by Tufte, the early printings are very uncommon. 197pp. with index. Hardcover. 4to. Publisher's cloth in printed dust jacket. Prospectus laid in. Jacket suffers several small scabs at spine, some edgewear and shelfsoil. Price sticker at front flap. Ex-corporate library with unobtrusive stamp at bottom edge. Still, cloth fresh and interior bright and tight. Very good.
Synopsis
Data graphics visually display measured quantities by means of the combined use of points, lines, a coordinate system, numbers, symbols, words, shading, and color. This is a book about the design of statistical graphics and, as such, it is concerned both with design and with statistics. But it is also about how to communicate information through the simultaneous presentation of words, numbers, and pictures.
