Now that I've [announced the new book](https://tinyurl.com/yy5m5ady?ref=philsimon.com), I figured that it was time to update my interactive Tableau dashboard from a while back. To be sure, it's not the fanciest thing out there. I'm no dataviz deity like [Ken Flerage](https://www.kenflerlage.com/?ref=philsimon.com) or [Ryan Sleeper](https://playfairdata.com/?ref=philsimon.com). (Not bad alliteration, eh?) Few are, but I digress ...

I find it interesting to view the books from a number of different angles—something that all good dashboards allow users to do. On a different level, Tableau is freaking addictive. With the semester starting and writing taking up my spare time for the foreseeable future, I don't know if I'll be able to noodle with data visualizations for a while.
