Linda Lohr is "The Tufte for Educators!" Unlike many other authors of similar texts who do not practice what they preach, Dr. Lohr not only TELLS the reader what to do--she SHOWS the reader how to create graphics with hundreds of learner-friendly visuals that support and illustrate her lessons.

Before I picked up this book. I never gave consideration to how to incorporate graphics in my instructional material. I am not an artist by any means, but this book helps me look like a graphics pro. I frequently re-visit the text when I need inspiration. If you buy this book, you will pick up design tips that are hard to find in any other source. It must be used in instructional design classes all over the USA. I would love to meet the author!

I purchased this book for a class I will be taking. From what I've seen, it appears to be well-written and easy to follow with an accompanying web-site that will be a great help.

I received this book within a week from Amazon. To my amazement, the book was delivered faster than many other people that bought it off of another website. The book arrived well packaged and with attractive promotional offers from Citibank. I am very happy with Amazon and recommend them to anyone.
