A remarkable range of examples for the idea of visual thinking, with beautifully printed pages. A real treat for all who reason and learn by means of images. -- Rudolf Arnheim

Here is what people are saying about the Envisioning Information
 "Time Tested Data Display Principles from a Well-Read Expert" | 2009-09-19 |
| - Reviewed By User: A116S3QU0J8BQX |
| Tufte is an information design pundit in the first order, and this book explains the issues that designers of information displays face across all number of print situations and for most data sets. The design of the book itself is concise and engaging. The text can be dense, it is extremely well and frequently cited. With the quality and sheer number of historical references from a variety of sources the reader quickly realizes that Tufte has tapped into visual design principles that transcend trends, technological advances, and local tastes. A virtual must-read for data display technicians. |

| "Great content, but gratuitous moments" | 2009-08-19 |
| - Reviewed By User: AH8RDBPPVP9JQ |
The content is mostly worthwhile and indeed ground breaking in parts (see spark lines). However, I get the impression that Tuft is overawed with his own vision. I listened to a presentation that he gave to an audience made up mostly by DoD and Intelligence Community professionals. Tufts student assistants seemed cowed by him and his lingering on the sculptures he designed in his backyard did not speak to me other than shouting EGO. Where it got personal for me is when he mentioned that he was always interested in the design of business cards. While he was signing my book at the end of the presentation I showed Tuft my business card which had a rather nifty design on the reverse that visually depicted human interaction with our software product. Tuft glanced at my card and sniffed. I am not kidding. The guy sniffed. I described to him my companies work with visualization of data via link analysis charts and he said the era of link charts had passed. Well, tell that to the DoD, and tell that to Saddam Hussein who was found by linking disparate pieces of information via one of my company's charts!
So, while the first book is very good, the author has drunk way too much of his own Kool Aid and as a result his message is somewhat lost within the hyperbole.

| Overall the book was in good condition. The papercover however was glued to the packaging. I had to cut it apart with a knife and damaged the backcover. |

 "Eye opener" | 2009-05-31 |
| - Reviewed By User: A2F9ROSXC2EET4 |
| I have gained a new insight into the art of data presentation. My presentations will benefit. Making the complex accessible and beautiful. |

| "Interesting and enjoyable" | 2008-12-07 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3RSDDV0LHO5I |
| Stimulates the visualisation of information with illustrations on every page and easy to read text. Provides many helpful ideas, as well as some `do and don't's. Some overlap with the other book (The Visual Display of Quantitative Information / Envisioning Information). |
