Best books: Jason Kottke

Jason Kottke builds web sites and edits the famous kottke.org blog.

He named a best books list for The Week. One title on the list:
Beautiful Evidence by Edward R. Tufte (Graphics Press, $52).

Tufte is the world’s foremost authority on the presentation of data, and Beautiful Evidence is also his most accessible book. You don’t even need to read the words; the marvelous tables, charts, and photos tell you most of what you need to know. A strong argument for continuing to publish books on paper.
Read about another book on Kottke's list.
