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:

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...
