We love books and my library, both hard copies and e-books, is always growing. Over the past few year this has been especially true of books for visualization. This list includes books we have found to be especially helpful when working with data, imagery, storytelling and design. Let me know if you have more suggestions. We’ve just added more bookshelves!
