My review

Many of the ideas in this book have made me think hard. For example, the rather unconventional concept of "to clarify add detail" which is maybe difficult to grasp without reading the whole chapter "micro/macro readings".

The chapter about colour is of special relevance for me since it can be applied specially to maps. It starts with an obvious statement which is usually forgotten: "above all, do no harm".
