Lines, Bars and Circles: How William Playfair Invented Graphs by Helaine Becker, Marie-Ève Tremblay
4.0

This book was really fun. Hard to believe about a book of graphs and charts. It’s the writing and the illustrations that make this book enjoyable from beginning to end. The author makes Will a character with big ideas and many faults. It's not just “here are the facts ma'am”. I enjoyed it, and I love it for showing that even people who may be failures at one, or two, or many things, can still not only become famous, but really help out society.
