Books for the Data Warehouse User Interface

I've had Edward Tufte's books for years now and I still refer back to them occasionally if I'm working on presenting numbers and facts. Each of the three focuses on different aspects of delivering information visually. He's a stickler for details, so the books are beautifully designed and the construction is high quality from the paper to the binding. The titles are:
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
Envisioning Information
Visual Explanations

These three books, or at least the first one, should be on every data warehouse professional's bookshelf if involved with user-interface design. We spend a lot of time with business intelligence products, but it's often not focused on communicating the information effectively.
