My collection of Tufte works (it’s killing me that I’m missing The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition), Arboretum by David Byrne, makes my heart smile, God stuff that I dip into once and a while, little book I found in a thrift store in Seattle a hundred years ago. My great, great grandma’s cook book published in 1887! My grandma Alma’s birthday book. A thank you card from a friend.
