Years ago I was given Edward Tufte's Visual Display of Quantitative Information, and have used it occasionally ever since. Tufte is renowned for his dislike of PowerPoint, as normally used. His $7 Cognitive Style of PowerPoint is worth every penny (well, cent), and it has recently been updated. There is also a slightly quaint Ask Edward Tufte Forum, complete with RSS feed, which has some long discussion threads, some of which have been running slowly and steadily for the last 5 years. Worth browsing if you are interested in "information design".
