This is the second edition of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.

Book News Annotation:The first edition of Tufte's now classic text on the design of
statistical graphics was published in 1983. Tufte published it
himself with the help of a second mortgage in order to have complete
control over the book's design, which he wanted to reflect the
intellectual principles put forth in its contents. That edition saw
17 reprintings. This second edition provides high-resolution color
reproduction of William Playfair's many graphics, adds color to other
images, and includes all the changes and corrections accumulated
since the first edition publication.
