Based on the highly successful website, I Love Charts: The Book is more than the standard blog-to-book offering. It uses the book format to explore charts from a human perspective, creating an experience entirely different from the blog. The central question: Why do we chart? The book includes never-before-seen charts and essays, ranging across many subjects, from the absurd and ironic to the starkly literal -- with charts dedicated to love, loss, art, culture and the minutiae of every day life.
