"This is a short, easy-to-read book about the basics of chart-making. Unlike many survey texts, the authors take clear stands on most issues, leaving the reader with a list of ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ for nearly every type of chart. . . . This is a good book to have handy when disputes arise about a graphic’s design, such as between the statistician and a client or graphic artist. . . . This book would be a welcome addition to every statistician’s bookshelf."
"A belated thanks for sending Graphing Statistics & Data. It is much better than the book I have been using. It is clear, well-written, and practical. Indiana University will be using it both for graduate and undergraduate classes."
Cost and age tell against this book as a core text - it has useful content in terms of producing clear illustrations for publication, but software has moved on a great deal, and an update would be useful. I see a need for a good book in this area, but for most students this is probably not it - a good resource for a library, nevertheless.
Good supplement for two of the major assignments, but not essential. If the course design changes in the future, the book may be required.
