Here's how ancient I am: I have first editions of all but the last of his books, buying them WHEN they came out. Fifteen years ago I managed to talk the gigantic computer OEM I was working for as their usability head into sending the entire software dev team to Edward's seminar. Although I'm certain there were a few who didn't get much out of the day, most of them made a point of seeking me out and thanking me for the opportunity. Hurray for making the world a better place, Edward! Edward and wife are two very nice people, and wonderfully accessible, too.

The quality of the information and the quality of the books themselves were just comforting in a strange way. Made me think 'okay, good, there is some excellent design in the world.'

You can check it out at http://www.edwardtufte.com if interested. The best part is you get a set of all 4 books with the course... Definitely worth the price of admission!
