I've bought a book from this person ("Data is beautiful"), and it's crap. If you go to the website home page, you'll see that the only thing that it does is use one (The author's?) library.

Hello - I am the person :) You're right of course - 6 of the 11 parts in the book are dedicated to chord diagrams. Shortly after starting the book I started exploring chord diagrams again and was enjoying creating visualisations with them a little too much. Please bear in mind that it's an early access book that I'm still working on. I can see you grabbed a copy when it was listed at 7.49 (it increases as I add more), and I have to defend it a little and say I don't believe the book is crap, just incomplete! I have been working on custom visualisations which will be working their way into the D3.js and Data is Beautiful book soon. Anyway, thank you for the feedback, I have sent an email to offer a refund, because selling the books is supposed to support further work, and I don't feel comfortable if someone feels unhappy after doing that.
