I bought this book as a present for a friend who has an interest in typography. She's also been interested in graphic design, which is why I picked this book in particular.
I've read part of it myself (a library copy), before deciding to buy a copy for my friend. It's stunningly simple at first glance. The textual descriptions are spare but, should the reader want to, they guide him/her to making detailed examinations of the illustrations/figures. It is these individual examinations that one will get the most learning from in this book.
This is a great book; I'm leaning towards getting a copy for myself, but I also want to check out Tufte's 'Visual Display of Quantitative Information', as that pertains to my more immediate need.Get more detail about Envisioning Information.
