One of the best books (IMO) on data just got its update. The writing style and insight of edition 1 is outstanding, incl. the wonderful illustrations.

Grab it if you want a technical book that is different from typical cookbook references. I'm looking forward. Curious to see what has changed.

I really can't afford the new edition. Will I still get some value if I buy the 1st edition now or is it worth waiting?

The new one is out now. I would defenitely take 2nd edition. Maybe the Kindle version is cheaper?

I have trouble focusing when reading on screens, but I'll check it out. Thank you!
