- tomgp 6y agoI thought that book was great, it's on my must-have-ready-access shelf. As an overview of the perils of misunderstanding statistical uncertainty and how it manifests it's second to none. HOWEVER in spite of the title the actual advice regarding visual presentation is pretty thin on the ground and some of the charts used in the book are not really as good as they should be. I'd love a new edition where the charts matched up to the quality of the text.
