Great read. Solid introduction to Javascript visualization libraries that aren't the obvious ones like D3.js. Author also included a terrific end-of-book example that walks readers, step-by-step in building a single-page web-application which utilizes the data visualization techniques mentioned throughout.
Overall, the book is perfect for flipping through.
