Summary: Must have book for anyone
Comment: I bought this book along with a few others, and I have to say, this is one book I can't put down! Literally I have it with me when I'm going around to see clients, in the car for a quick read, or to illustrate things to people.

I have some clients I work with closesly who I have been trying to teach these underlying concepts to for quite a while, but I've now bought them a copy of this book to read, because it's short, concise, excellent information, and well illustrated.

I'm a web designer, and this has affected how I design/code things in a huge way. I think about things like "I shouldn't just name that button Salons, because we can't have people even second think what it could mean for a split second", and therefore choose to name it something self-explanatory like 'Find a salon' etc.

Couldn't recommend this book highly enough.

Summary: What every designer needs to know about usability
Comment: If you're responsible for designing anything, website or not, read this book. Now.

It's great at explaining why usability needs to be the primary concern in developing any sort of interface. The way a user looks at a site is very different than the way a designer does, and "Don't Make Me Think" points these things out clearly and easily.

Even the title is a lesson, one of the most important in the book; "Don't Make Me Think." If the interface makes the user think when they don't need to, it's bad. Cartoons, short chapters, and plenty of illustrations make this a quick, light read that will leave you convinced to spent more time on usability.

While the book's shortness is one of its strengths, I'd say it's also its only weakness. It convinces you to spend more time on usability, but doesn't go too much into how. But that's covered in many other books, and a few are even given at the end.
