fyi: there is a new tufte book (don't have it yet but i'm told that it's nice too)
It's _Beautiful Evidence_ (2006) and it is beautiful. I think it was typeset in Quark. A few pages from the book, as well some of Tufte's updates on the book's production, are here: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=000262&topic_id=1 Can TeX/LaTeX/ConTexT-based typesetting can look as good? Perhaps! Towards the end of this thread http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000hB, there are well-designed documents typeset with LaTeX. With MetaPost they would look even better. Maybe the ConTeXt community should add to the thread examples of beautiful ConTeXt/Meta(Fun|Post) documents... -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
