I did a quick research on this topic sometime ago and the following was my conclusion.
1. The Visual Display of Quantitative Information - Edward Tufte
2. Storytelling With Data
3. Documentation pages of data Viz tools e.g. 1, 2, 3 depending on your programming language of choice.
IMHO python ecosystem is still struggling with solid visualization as compared to JavaScript and R.
Ggplot gives you shiny Viz but I'm not a fan of R.
D3 and it's derivatives are awesome for dynamic Viz if that's what you are after. GL

- Foivos 5y agoFor python this open access book is excellent: https://github.com/rougier/scientific-visualization-book https://github.com/rougier/scientific-visualization-book
- jszymborski 5y agoI can second this! Really no better reference for creating plots in python.
- ekianjo 5y ago> 1. The Visual Display of Quantitative Information - Edward Tufte Good book but it starts to show its age. We need a newer version regarding more recently developed visualization techniques.
- kuhewa 5y agoHe just released a fifth book. Don't know how it rates. None of his were particularly about the technical side of production though
