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".

I highly recommend it. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/the-visual-miscellaneum/ http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/the-visual-miscel...
