The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is an amazing and informative book. Tufte couldn't get this published, so published it himself (Graphics Press), and it became an instant classic.

Not all the information is new. The piece de resistance is a drawing of Napoleon's Russian campaign showing 6 variables (location, temperature, number of men left, etc.) in 2 dimensions.
