Would you consider pre-ordering my book? That way I can get it into more bookshops. And we can spread the good news about the amazing ALL-GRAPHIC FUTURE OF CIVILISATION THAT AWAITS US!
It’s out in the US 10th November. And in the UK on the 4th February.
Here’s a Visual Miscellaneum US pre-order link

I received my first copies this week – a joyful and agonising experience. Joyful because yay it’s my book! Agonising because, inevitably, I keep seeing things I want to change or tweak or improve.
Overall though, I think it’s pretty good. Ultimately, I wanted to explore a whole range of subjects as visually and beautifully as possible, with the minimum of text. I hope I managed it and I hope you enjoy it.
Here are some pictures to give you a sense of it.
(Sorry about the awful framing of some of these. I’m a designer, not a photographer yeah?)










Here’s that Visual Miscellaneum US pre-order link again.
Enjoy! And let me know what you think. Thanks! david.

David – Any update on the printing errors?
I want to order a copy of the book from amazon.com to ship to New Zealand but am hesitant about getting a copy with a printing error.
I got one copy off the amazon marketplace from a uk-based seller
because it is only available in Germany starting from three to six weeks (that’s where i live).
However there are also alot of misprintings in it (i’ve counted like 5 now), text not even showing up/missing (3x) plus colors marking off to the opposite page (2x).
Seriously it looks like i got half-finished stuff being rushed out from the factory too early.
Beside that i feel quite strange having recommended it to quite a few friends,
just for the fact that they’ve also pre-ordered on amazon few days ago.
What am i going to do now ? Is there any solution ?
Thanks in advance & Best Regards,
Markus
beautiful work.
reminds me of +Edward Tufte – Beautiful Evidence+ but with more colour.
Walked passed it in a bookshop in Bangkok the other day, just had to buy it ;)
Great work!!!
Just got your book at Barnes & Nobles yesterday, recommended by a senior friend. Really a good one!
Just put it on my Christmas list. :)
Hi David, thanks for the great book! I really love it, even with all the errors – but these are still annoying and i wonder how this much errors could pass. I would really appreciate a pdf with the updated version of the misprinted diagrams.
While I love the book, (I spent the entire afternoon reading it from cover to cover) I was disappointed to find that there are missing texts on pages 60-64. Is there a way to receive the complete art for these pages?
Why does the UK version have less pages? Is there a significant difference in the content?
I’d much rather like to buy a hardback copy with the US cover.
Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
Fantastic book!
Amazing as always :)
Forgot where I saw your book …looks super interesting. Wanted to look inside on Amazon but there is no”look inside” function. Thank you for providing the photos. This will make a wonderful Christmas present.
Regards,
Susanna
My copy is also missing text. Could you email the pdf to me as well? Thank you. Excellent work, by the way :)

This site and the unbiased information you spend so much time researching has generated so many amazing conversations in my office. When are you going to sell them as posters. I’m a professor and this is the kind of stuff that really tickles our fancy.

Nicely done!
Wow! It visually speaks for itself!
I just love to receive your emails with the visualizations and often forward them to my friends. It is true: Information really IS beautiful!
