What Hacker News says
- While I really love Tufte's books, for more direct advice I recommend Albert Cairo's The Functional Art. I don't remember discussion of fonts offhand, but everything else in your list is covered.
Several of the other comments, such as Wilkinson's GoG or Cleveland's research, I don't think make sense as an intro to the topic. I have posted my notes on various data viz books (which are quite heterogenous) in this blog post: https://andrewpwheeler.com/2020/11/04/overview-of-dataviz-bo...
- I just took a quick diversion from reading The Functional Art to checkout this story. The book covers information visualization and the three graphics in this story would rate very low according to the book's guidelines, in particular the series of pie charts.
I enjoyed the brutal comment though.
