there are a few really great resources that were mentioned already.
I found Tufte books a little bit abstract and more geared toward data visualization philosophy and not as practical as some of the other resources out there in terms of creating interactive, business-focused data visualizations. While I really like them, it may not be the first ones you grab.
I highly recommend books and blogs by these people---all but Stephen Few are active on Twitter (bolding the highest 3 recommendations):

1 book by far is Andy Kirk’s. Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design https://www.amazon.com/dp/1526468921/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rjx3DbDVRPFDN
It’s very broad and accessible yet substantial. That’s the book I recommend to anyone who need to read just one book.
2 is RJ Andrews book Info We Trust: How to Inspire the World with Data https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119483891/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gmx3Db0FDG9DC.
This is a wonderful book that I read as an ode to visualization as a medium. It’s more artistic than Andy’s book both in its topic and its execution.
3 book depends on your specific interest. Dashboards/tableau? https://www.amazon.com/big-book-dashboard/s?k=big+book+of+dashboard.
