The Visual Miscellaneum

   This is a great list. David McCandless' recent book The Visual Miscellaneum 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.

   Check out his book, Visual Miscellaneum. Not all visualizations are good, overall its a nice book though.

   Unfortunately, InformationIsBeautiful.net basically exists to be an advertisement for the author's book, The Visual Miscellaneum. Which is a very pretty book--I own it--but not really full of informative infographics. There's some original content in the blog, but far too much of it is reposts of graphics from the book.

   For a better (or at least more varied) selection of infographics I like:

   * Chart Porn (http://chartporn.org/)

   * Flowing Data (http://flowingdata.com/) which also covers datavis software

   * Information Aesthetics (http://infosthetics.com/)

   * We Love DataVis (http://datavis.tumblr.com/)

   (edit: formatting)
