Almost by chance I discovered there is a new Stephen Few's book coming out soon. It is has a wonderful title: "Now you see it" and I couldn't be more excited about it.

Few weeks ago I posted a blog post titled "Book for practitioners, not designer!" claiming that we are desperately in need of books that teach how to perform interactive visual data analysis. And this book looks like just the perfect response to what I expressed in my post. From the book description:

"Now You See It does for data analysis what Stephen Few's book Show Me the Numbers does for data presentation: it teaches simple, fundamental, practical techniques that anyone can use--only this time they're for making sense of information, not presenting it."

Wow, This is what I was looking for! A book that teaches how to analyze data with visual interactive tools. And one written for casual users, in need to analze some data in their work, not for highly skilled statisticians and engineers. And not for designers.

I'm really looking forward to reading it. I hope (I'm sure though) it will meet my expectation. Well done Stephen!

P.S. It has such a beautiful cover! Isn't it?
