Summary: A Joy to Behold, As Well As to Read
Comment: With 342 mostly strongly favorable reviews by other readers as of the date that I write this, I have little to add about the content. I do want to applaud the author and the entire publishing team for the beautiful design of the book itself. (See publisher New Riders books by noted author Jakob Nielsen for similar publishing excellence.) Chapter organization, page layout, typography, illustrations, paper stock, and use of color combine to make the content clear.

Web and book design of course share many concepts. It is no wonder that legendary magazine designer Roger Black had written a foreword ending with, "The principles that Steve shares are going to stay the same, no matter what happens with the Internet... So pull up a chair and relax."

The book is a joy to behold as well as to read and would make an excellent gift.

Summary: Useful and Easy
Comment: This book is a live example of what good usability should be: useful, concise, and easy.

I took me less than 2 hours to scan through - I was able to comprehend key points of the book easily: don't make the user think; and make it easy and useful for the user to navigate. Usability is not a rocket science. It is common sense.

This is the most useful book I've read on web usability and also one of the easiest. If you are in the process of redesigning a website or designing a brand new one, it is a book you do not want to miss.

For future update: I wish Steve Krug can add eCommerce specific usability in a follow-on book. In it, I would like to see his view on how usability interacts with SEO when developing contents. These are the issues that today's web designer faces and are seeking best practices.

Comment: As the introductory matter suggests, this book can be read in a couple of hours. It's worth taking the time. It gives some very useful, simple guidelines to designing a good user interface and eliminating the interminable arguments that come down to matters of taste. The good and bad examples are illuminating and make the book fun to read.
