Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Third printing with revisions, April 1998. Signed by the author. Published by Tufte's own imprint, this influential work continues his systematic exploration of how visual displays communicate evidence, causality, and narrative across disciplines. Building on The Visu…al Display of Quantitative Information and Envisioning Information, the book presents a wide range of examples - from scientific diagrams to historical illustrations - demonstrating principles of clarity, integrity, and analytical precision in design. This copy is signed by Tufte on the title page and includes laid-in ephemera from one of his lectures, a desirable association given Tufte's well-known self-produced seminars. The volume is bound in the publisher's characteristic oatmeal cloth and retains its original dust jacket. The interior is clean and bright, with strong hinges and a tight binding, making it an appealing example for both collectors and working designers. Condition is Near Fine in a Good+ dust jacket. The book itself shows minimal wear, with clean boards, sharp corners, and no markings beyond the author's signature. The dust jacket is complete and not price-clipped but exhibits moderate foxing and spotting across the panels and flaps, along with light edge wear and a small closed tear at the upper spine, all visible in the provided images. Edition/printing is clearly stated on the copyright page as 'Third printing, with revisions, April 1998,' consistent with Graphics Press conventions (no number line present). As a signed later printing with original jacket and accompanying ephemera, this copy represents a solid and collectible example of one of the foundational texts in modern information design. Edward R. Tufte (b. 1942) is an American statistician and Yale University professor emeritus, widely regarded as a leading authority on data visualization and analytical design. Through his self-published books and influential lectures, he has shaped how information is presented in fields ranging from science and journalism to business and public policy. His work emphasizes clarity, precision, and the ethical presentation of data, making his books enduring classics in design and statistics. On March 5, 2010, President Barack Obama appointed Tufte to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's Recovery Independent Advisory Panel 'to provide transparency in the use of Recovery-related funds'.
