Now you see it

Wendy isn't as blind as a bat--there are bats that can see better than she can. Which is why, when her new glasses break, she's all too happy to wear the dorky pair of sunglasses she finds on the lawn. They seem to match her prescription, and that's all that matters if she's going to be able to make it through her school day. But the glasses correct her vision too much.She begins to see things that no one else can see: cheerful corpses, frightening crones disguised as teenyboppers, and portals to other worlds--places where people are all too aware of the magical properties of her new shades... and will do anything to get them.

Data visualization. I had many years of experience with data analytics, but only when I read "Now you see it" by Stephen Few I started understanding how data visualization is linked to the way the human eye and brain work.

I have some hardware that's languishing in storage. I've gotten 1000's of hours of entertainment from the high quality community here (and gifted hardware from those neighboring it). I'd rather give to somebody who knows what to do with it instead of it getting flipped on Craigslist.

So I'm giving away the following for free to whomever wants it. PM profile email for details on pick up/drop off. Please allow some time to respond—I don't have Internet currently.

Information Dashboard Design - is definitely the first one you should read. It really gives a more high level overview of charting best practices and dashboard design.

Show me the Numbers - goes much more in depth about the details of the different chart types and visualization best practices. There's a chapter or two on each of the main chart types.

Now You See It - This is described as a companion book to Show me the Numbers and focuses on data analysis as opposed to pure visualization.
