The Tao of Programming, Geoffrey James.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little nor too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity.

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Edward Tufte.

Maximize the data-ink ratio, within reason
Erase non-data-ink, within reason
Erase redundant data-ink, within reason.
