Ask HN: What is the best book on data visualization in 2021?
1 point by zwaps 2 minutes ago | hide | past | favorite | discuss
I am looking for a comprehensive resource on data visualization. There are many individual resources that have been posted over the years (such as in blog posts). However, as a non-expert I am not sure which advice is good to follow (e.g., many blogs are published by companies trying to sell me a particular product or package).

Not sure if the book is the ideal format for this, but it seems to have the highest chance of being competent, unbiased and comprehensive. For the latter point, I think important topics are

- Colors and accessibility

- Concrete examples of color schemes

- Pros and Cons of different visualizations vis-à-vis data

- Print versus digital

- Fonts and layout considerations

- Perhaps short insights into the research on these points

But perhaps there are other things not on my radar that are current or interesting?
