Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome Book! Comment: Quick read, but provides great insight into how users work... how we work. Definitely reccommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Must have for all web designers Comment: This book is a must have for all web designers and a great gift for those customers who need a quick read overview of what makes a good site.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Modern Day Classic Comment: This book is a must read for all web developers, and it is a SHOULD read for everyone else. I've transcribed the most important topics in the book and I have them hanging next to my computer.
After reading this book, you will not look at anything the same. I immediately question Firefox's software updates that force me to click two buttons. I've noticed my DVR suffers from poor usability issues. Everything in my car is now questioned, as are house plans, kitchenware, highway layouts. Everything.
Customer Rating:      Summary: What? You don't have this book yet? Comment: I am a professional Web developer and designer working for a large hospital and many smaller clients. Here's what I say to members of my team and to freelancers coming to me in search of work:
"I don't even want to see your portfolio if you haven't read this book."
It is not the ONLY book of smart design, but it is THE book on smart design.
Another one that I highly recommend, not as a substitute for "Don't Make Me Think," but as a go-along, is "Designing the Obvious: a common sense approach to web application design" by Robert Hoekman Jr.
If you can only afford one, get "Don't Make Me Think," or don't bother showing your portfolio to me.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent wedesign book Comment: Very small but worth the money book.
If you are serious about designing a Web get this book it will give you the basics that 80% oversee.
A MUST
