     Edward Tufte's books can be purchased at clearance prices from ASIS 
     (American Society for Information Science). Check out this page on 
     their Web site (the prices are pretty good for non-members, too).

Edward R. Tufte has already been mentioned by name; along the thought
offered by Chris Poterala, see Tufte's two monuments, "The Visual Display
of Quantitative Information" (1983) and "Envisioning Information" (1990),
both by Graphics Press (his own, I believe).
 
These are must-reads for the graphically literate and are beautifully
produced books, too.
