For those of you who aren't familiar with Tufte's books:
"The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" by Edward R. Tufte
ISBN: 096139210X
"Envisioning Information" by Edward R. Tufte
ISBN: 0961392118
They are the Knuth-esque books for user interface stuff, not necessarily
computer stuff either. On amazon, they refer to it as "The Strunk & White
of visual design".
