This is a great list. David McCandless' recent book <i>The Visual Miscellaneum</i> does not quite fit in with these books - it's not instructional and has no "theory". But it's a beautiful book full of great examples of data visualization, enough to get any designer's creative juices flowing. I highly recommend it.<p><a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/the-visual-miscellaneum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/the-visual-miscel...</a>
