(you can re-use my comment for free) why is the pdf protected by password?
what will it change to give it for free?

Thank goodness it's for sale in Holland. Just downloaded the pdf. Thanks for sharing. The website is also very nice! Maybe an odd question: Are the images in 'The Visual Miscellaneum' different from 'Information is Beautiful'? My wife bought this great book today and I allready love it!

Hi David,

I just got my copy of the UK edition, and unfortunately it also contains a number of diagrams with missing fonts … great book, but I wonder if anyone actually bothered at looking at the pages after they were rendered … fonts not printing is a classic when moving from one device to another, I would expect the people at Harper Collins to know about this …

Now I'm trying to put off reading it, so I can get some work done! I've also downloaded the errata PDF. Thank-you for going to the trouble of making this available. I have spotted another mistake though. On page 84-85, the Sinclair QL is displayed as having a 6502 processor, whereas it had a Motorola 68008. (Cut down version of the 68000 iirc).

It's "the picture says a thousand words" amplified. I remember seeing data on world mortality rates or literacy rates in a presentation given in one of those conferences where the western nations' most brilliant people get together to develop solutions for world problems. Was that also your presentation? Anyway.... I found a few consequential and inconsequential typos that were not listed on the errata PDF: - 30 Years Makes a Difference on page 044/045 has the name of the country Colombia misspelled. -Simple Part II Who has the most influence on your weight? Page 197, next to Shooting Stars The bubbles are there, but I didn't see the corresponding labels. Loved this book. It’s “the picture says a thousand words” amplified.

I just wasn't getting some of these infographics at Christmas. Was I missing a key? Was it artsy in its info missing? Any chance the publisher would offer a new book to those who want it? Either way, very kind of you to offer up the PDF. Might be the best and most immediate compromise. This explains a lot. I just wasn’t getting some of these infographics at Christmas.

I Love that book. Amazing work. I like it so much that I want to spread it around to my friend. I found the gift for the coming birthdays... DO you know if there will be a new release without the missprint and when? Thank you again for your great work.
