		lazzlazzlazz on Sept 19, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Useful Is Tufte for Making Maps? (2007) Tufte is a collector of some good design, but having seen him at a conference and gone through his books, he actually has very little grasp of the general principles at play. I wouldn't recommend him.

That seems unlikely, but I'm curious. Do you have an example of a general principle that you think he hasn't grasped and why?
