Editorial Reviews

Review

Howard Wainer's splendid How to Display Data Badly [Chapter 1] covers standard practice among advertisers, economists, and apologists, and should be distributed to every household in the country along with the next batch of Charters.
—London Times Literary Supplement

...Visual Revelations is the kind of book to read for fun and to discover later that you learned something....
—Psychometrika

Wainer's books are simply the most entertaining, engaging, and thought-provoking books in the area.
—Sr. VP of SPSS
