This book is absolutely fascinating! It was published in 1939 and is a thorough description of all the kinds of graphics that an analyst can and should use to represent the data he wants to depict. The beautiful thing is that when it was written the computers were not even a dream, so all the charts must be done by hand, and there are several chapters dedicated to papers, inks, crayons, rulers and the like. Data visualization is a craft, and that must not be forgotten. This book is a permanent reminder of that.
