The Visual Miscellaneum sold out in North America over Christmas. Woo! Thanks to all those who bought a copy.
Thanks to my publishers HarperCollins, I now hold what could be the last five copies of the first edition.
I’d like to sign them and give away to you, lovely readers. Before this site goes all Information Is Beautiful on your ass.

Blimey, look at all the lovely comments you’re getting ;)
Looking forward to it being available in the UK.
I’d love a copy. January 16th is my 39th birthday, and it would rock if I got this as a gift!
Congratulations on the success! I would love to win a copy!
Great work, David. Really looking forward to seeing the book in print.
Best wishes,
Tom.
What the hell. No Whammies. No Whammies. No Whammies. Stop.
Here’s to forgetting enough basic probability theory to think that I have a chance of winning this contest!!
sounds soooo intriguingg
I should enjoy that book!!!
love the site – and the book looks beautiful.
Congrats and since this is the only way to get a copy these days, let’s hope I win! :)
Hey! A signed copy would be awesome.
I would love a free copy although I already bought one :)
Looking forwards to seeing “Information is Beautiful”.
Looks like an excellent book. I find your work and the work you present very inspiring. How long until the 2nd edition is available? Or reprints of the 1st edition??
Thanks for making data more digestible! Congrats.
Ahhhh I must get it.
Please.
It’s my birthday on the 16th and I’d love a copy!
Would love a copy of the the book. Thanks!
Love your work, it would definitely be amazing if i won.
I’d love to win a copy!
Love your designs!
As a librarian I could agree more that information is beautiful. I would love to be distracted by you book being on my desk :o)
Stumbled onto your book via infosthetics.com and would love to own a copy. I’ve bookmarked your site and will return often to explore it further. Keep up the good work!
I bought your book for my brother for Christmas, but I noticed that many of the charts (at least 10 that I saw during a quick perusal, there may be more) are MISSING LABELS on the axes or on other pertinent features (for example, the one about major versus virgin at graduation). For someone so into transmitting information, this lack of editing is must be unacceptable. I am interested to see what you propose as a solution. Perhaps you could send me one of the signed copies with the labels WRITTEN IN? :-)
One of my favorite visualisations is the left versus right political spectrum. This and the Guardian Datablog are excellent. Fingers crossed.
Would be an awesome prize! Keep up the good work. Love the blog.
love your clear thinking and creative displays. Here’s hoping for my own copy. Thanks
Hey, I’d love a copy. They aren’t sold in europe, specifically Germany, by chance?
Regards.
When is the second printing available?
Cannot wait for more updates! Love the site.
Really enjoying it all; keep up the excellent work.
The book looks great, would love to get a copy :-D
Really like your infovisualizations, it’s nice that decided to make book as well.
Awesome. Hope I win.
I have been trying to pick this book up since it came out – but have been unable to in the UK!
