My reading list has grown dramatically, as I picked up a load of treasure at my two favorite used bookstores - Recycle Bookstore in San Jose & Bookbuyers in Mountain View.
Here's what I picked up:
- The Practical Guide to Information Design by Ronnie Lipton
A great looking textbook on information design. - Understanding USA by Richard Saul Wurman
I'm a big Wurman fan. This book has a lot of ugly graphics, but it certainly inspires new ideas. - A Designer's Research Manual by Jen & Ken Visocky O'Grady
The methodology looks a lot like IDEO's. That's a good thing... - The Deming Dimension by Henry Neave
Looks like a great summary of Deming's principles. - Visual Literacy by Richard & Judith Wilde
A book full of interesting graphic exercises. I'll try some of these in a workshop. - Dancing Naked in the Mind Field by Kerry Mullis
Any Nobel winning scientist who's not afraid to drop the f-bomb is okay with me. - Frank Lloyd Wright by America Architects
A nice short photo book that contains all the Wright buildings we've visited. - The Essential Frank Lloyd Wright: Critical Writings on Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright
I love Wright's onery nature. This will be the first one in the pile that I read. I started it last night. - improv wisdom by Patricia Ryan Madson
A book that encourages us to 'wing it' is worth reading. - Practical Charting Techniques by Spear
Looks like most of the principles that Tufte and Few are preaching today were already documented by Spear in 1969. - Made to Stick by Chip & Dan Heath
Yeah, I know... I should have already read this one... but I haven't. - An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore
Bought this so I have some of Al's graphics available in my presentation class. - The Serpents of Paradise by Edward Abbey
One of my favorite authors (with Twain, Steinbeck, and Paul Theroux). I already have this, but couldn't pass up a hard-cover first edition. - Mindset by Carol Dweck
Once again, a book I've read, but picked up in hardcover.
