My review

This book is a pleasure to read if you want to learn the basics on how to make good information graphics and visualizations. I like Alberto's style – clear and without any kind of jargon. You can tell he is a journalist.

The only minus in my opinion is that there are perhaps too many interviews at the end of the book. They are great, informative and inspiring but I would have liked to read more of Cairo's ideas. Maybe he is saving them for his next book? 🙂
