Customer Rating:      Summary: This book makes it easy Comment: This is a very well-written, easy-to-read, info-packed book. The information is logically presented; the layout and design make it easy to find what you want. Well worth the money
Customer Rating:      Summary: Read this book before you build your website or blog Comment: Steve Krug's book is full of solid, easily understood advice on web usability. But even more than that, he covers a lot of ground, indirectly, on how to deal with clients (for web designers) and how to think about, plan, and execute a web project (for the rest of us). Add to that the clear layout and design of the book, the engaging writing and humor, and you have probably the best book on usability design on the market.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Start your studies with this Comment: A good book for web design beginners who are just starting their studies or careers in the industry. Someone with a lot of UI design and usability experience won't probably get anything new out of this one (except some perspective I guess).
The book is covering only the basics and is very light on content. On the other hand once you've got those basic design principles you are ready to go. The book is also very fast and fun to read and the author definitely has his own humorous style of writing. I hope we'll see more web design books like this one in the future. Books that are easy to digest between more serious reading.
Other related suggested reading could be the Designing the Obvious: A Common Sense Approach to Web Application Design by Robert Hoekman Jr. which is a bit more serious title but definitely good reading too.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Superb Exemplar of Technical Communication Comment: This is the best book for beginners in user interface design; managers who don't understand usability and those who appreciate a superb exemplar of persuasive, informative, even entertaining technical communication. He addresses design principles that apply not only to web design, but also to all visual communications and interaction design. The usability of his presentation is so good; it should be an example in every communications design class.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Krug book Comment: I think this is a great book. It uses common sense terms and it is easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone.
