Nerd PSA: Edward Tufte has a new book coming out! It’s called Seeing with Fresh Eyes. edwardtufte.com/tufte/seeing-w
(I’ve been waiting with much excitement—it was marked as shipping in mid-October. Alas, nothing yet. Has anyone else received their pre-order?)

Just a few pages in and already reeling from this line: "local optimizing adds up to global pessimizing."

Negative, I called earlier last week and it is expected to ship mid November (now).

Honest question, have you ever gotten prescriptive use out of one of Tufte's books? I've always found them to be like museums rather than art classes. More full of a collection of beautiful things than instructions for creating your own.

Tons! I think about their prescriptive lessons often in my design and communication work.
