Summary: Great & funny book on web usability!
Comment: This is a great book on web usability that is as entertaining as it is informative!

Krug's first law of usability is the title of the book, "Don't make me think!" As his wife describes it, "If something is hard to use, I just don't use it much." And I think that's true for a lot of us.

He notes that most people just scan a page, so you need to act like you're designing billboards when you design your website. He then goes on to provide lots of tips on how to do that.

He also emphasizes cutting out unnecessary words...or as he puts it, "happy talk must die."

This guy is really funny and he definitely knows his stuff. Regardless of whether you're trying to set up your first website or web design is something you do for a living, you'll find everything you need (and nothing you don't) in this great guide to web usability.

Summary: Even if you're not doing usability testing...
Comment: For any developer or designer who cares about user experience (and doing a better job), this is your book! No techie stuff. Just clear, to-the-point, and well-illustrated examples of what a user really does and the end-results you want to attain to make their experience a pleasant one.

It breaks my heart to give this book anything less than five stars, but the binding is horrible! I have about a dozen segments of the book that all broke away from the hard and inflexible binding as I read the book. Use extreme care - the publishers did not design this binding to lay flat in any way!

Summary: Don't think, just buy it!
Comment: Excellent book.

Being an internet user, i'm used to the tipical usability flaws on web applications. Being a developer, i'm used to write programs that work and also, to blame users that "don't get it". Well, after reading this book, turns out i'm now a smarter user and a better developer.

Quoting the book: "Like a lot of common sense, it's not necessarily obvious until after someone's pointed it out to you". As a developer, i needed it. I've read it in 2 days (large fonts are used).

The bookbinding however is not very good (pages are not very well attached).

Summary: Terrible binding
Comment: This is an expensive book (list price) for something less than 200 pages. Nonetheless the advice within it is worth every penny. I won't repeat what other reviewers have to say about the content. But please note that my copy fell apart before I'd finished the first read. The binding is awful. The pages fell out in ever increasing chunks until all I now have left is the cover and a bunch of sections that I have to keep stuffing back when I put the book away. And, it's a book that I refer to frequently.
