Insightful, Engaging, and Rich with Examples

As a longtime fan of graphics, I can confidently say this is one of the best books I've read in years.

The book challenged some of my long-held assumptions and encouraged me to think more critically.

The pacing was excellent; I never felt overwhelmed by jargon or bogged down by unnecessary detail. The visual aids and diagrams were not only helpful but beautifully designed to complement the text.
