    $\begingroup$ We expect answers to "list-of" questions like this one to include, at a minimum, a cogent reason for the recommendation. Answers that do not supply reasons are usually deleted or converted to comments. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 13, 2017 at 23:18

    $\begingroup$ @whuber I gave a very appropriate answer referencing the three books written by Edward Tufte. Do you have a better suggestion? $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 13, 2017 at 23:21

    $\begingroup$ Yes. First indicate each book separately, by title. Along with those indications describe how that book recommendation responds to the question. What theory or theories does Tufte advance? From what particular perspective? Why would it be worthwhile to consult these texts? How do they differ among themselves? Etc., etc. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 13, 2017 at 23:23

    $\begingroup$ I've added the second of four (to date) of Tufte's self-published books (note that graphics is a secondary theme in his earlier books). I won't try to impute Michael's commendation. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 14, 2017 at 13:09
