Thank you, from a Quality Analyst. This book is a Must Read and will definitely improve my decision making process in selectioning a chart type. It has colorful illustrations with every page turn. The in depth coverage is what you need to clearly understand the topic from a professional data visualization perspective. The book is so engaging that you want to keep picking it up to find out more.

I just got mine in the mail and certainly have not read it, but I've skimmed every page.
From a CFO's perspective, love it!
Just a couple more observations which one reviewer has already addressed:
1. You don't read this book. I suppose you could. It's a reference book. I'll be hitting several of the chapters that are very pragmatic and relevant to my situation.
2. If you see Andy Cotgreave's name on this book, don't worry about it. Yeah, he's a beast and over the top like his co-authors, but there is something for everyone--novices, beginners, intermediates, and pros. There is something for everyone here.
3. And that leaves me to a new, slightly controversial comment. No criticism aimed at Stephen Few. I own all of his books. But The Big Book of Dashboards is practical. Interested in visualizing your NPS data? No problem. Sales dashboards? Check. I only bring this up because I almost didn't buy the book since I owned all of Few's. There is some overlap, but you will not be disappointed.
I only have one gripe while still giving 5 stars. I want sample files. It appears many visuals were completed in Tableau, right? Backup files, Please. That would be great.
Otherwise, this book is an easy 5 stars.

Great book Steve! A must have for anyone involved with dashboard design and reporting.

What I love about this book is it's focus on the 'why' it works. There are plenty of books on the how, but very few analyse why. This is beautifully written with loads of great examples. A real classic.

This book is great. Does anyone know where I can get the data sets though?
