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 , 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... -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
