BTW, he's coming out with a fourth book. It's going to be called
_Beautiful Evidence_ and it's supposed to be out next year.

Also, he's selling his "Essay" (rant) on PowerPoint here:
'http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/powerpoint

Although, if he was really serious about maximizing the dissemination
of information you'd think he would just have the essay posted on his
site for people to read instead of only selling printed copies.
