About the Book

This **is a great book that makes data visualization simple and clear. It’s offering easy-to-follow tips like labeling data directly and keeping charts clean, which helps anyone create better graphs fast. I like how it’s short but packed with examples. Like how the biggest pie chart slice should start at 12 o’clock. Dona’s clear writing and smart ideas, shaped by her time at The Wall Street Journal and learning from Edward Tufte, make it super useful. Honestly, it’s a handy guide that even pros enjoy for its practical!
