I’d like to sign them and give away to you, lovely readers. Before this site goes all Information Is Beautiful on your ass.

Oh, I’d love to win a copy! It looks gorgeous!
Yes please! I’ll make sure everybody who visits my house reads it.
David, love what you do and you were definitely the highlight of the Media140 Conference last year. Keep it up :)
When I showed it to my girlfriend at the bookshop, she remarked ‘Oooh, pretty colours’. Says it all really. Canhazinfographics?
I truly hope I win this, this would be such a great prize.
Abso-freakin-lutely.
Cheers,
Mike.
Congratulations on selling out! (Erm, if you know what I mean.)
Totes gonna win, what.
Wow that’s a great opportunity! I’d loooove to have that book, and if I won’t win, I’ll buy the second edition! :D
Oh! I want this book! After hearing you talk at “Edit” I’m sold. Information is not only beautiful – it’s fun! Best, Elisabeth (Coffee-drinker.)
I’d love one! Your site is awesome! X
From the sample pages you’ve posted, the book looks amazing. I’ve been showing the site to colleagues as inspiration for how we might present things in a less soul-destroyingly boring way!
Love the website, would love the book!
a picture is worth a thousand words – patterns are more valuable than words – I can recognise meaning in a picture – I have to read and digest words (often multiple times if complex)
Here’s my comment :)
The book is already on my Amazon wishlist!
Oh yes! Finally something good on this nasty Monday morning.
Congrats on selling out the first run, btw. Second run planned?
I’d love one! =)
I’d like a copy – looks nice, congrats on the sales!

Thanks for a great site!
Hi,
Just wanted to leave a comment to say thanks for all the beautiful images you provide. They really do get across information in a way that is much more accessible than just data. I am a firm believer in providing information as simply as possible, which is something you excel at!
Thank for everything
Glad the book’s doing really well!
Would love a signed copy, but this is still on my list of books to buy and hopefully soon I’ll get around to it.
All the best.
Congratulations on conquering America! I’d love a copy to help get Europe off to a good start.
I’d love to get my hands on one of those signed copies, great work!
Hi there!
I want that book now! lol

I would like it. It has a pretty cover.
Congratulations on selling out! wWould really love to see a finished copy of this – not had a chance yet and so if I don’t win this I’m gonna have to buy one quickstyle.
Congratulations!
Oh I would so love to win a copy of this. Kudos on the fantastic work David. All the best in 2010.
Great to hear that your book has done so well. Congratulations!
Hi, David.
The Visual Miscellaneum looks amazing. Would love a signed copy!
happy new Year and good luck with the book.

I’ve been following the upcoming release of this book for a while. I’m based in Lebanon and in the region I don’t think any of our bookstores will stock it.
I’m particularly interested in data visualization techniques and infographics particularly as it relates to transmitting large amounts of business info in a short period of time. We deal with people speaking varying languages in the Middle East and North Africa, sometimes a picture can take less time than it would take to consume a thousand words.
Locally, (ie in Lebanon) we have an extremely untapped market of creative talent. I’m holding a community event called GeekFest Beirut in February which is basically gathering people interested in various disciplines here to talk about what they are passionate about, design is always a key topic.
Such a book would be well received and hopefully provide some inspiration as to what new channels there might be for talented designers.
Sincerely,
alexandra
I want one! please send one over to europe!
Hey,
Would love to receive a copy of the book, am a regular visitor to the blog and saw you speak at the Media 140 thing. Most interesting part of the day.
Ok that’s enough gushing. Looking forward to seeing more cool work.
Cheers
Laurence
Hope this is a winner :)
Oh, yes please. :)
