Summary: A must read for anyone involved in website creation
Comment: An infinitely quotable book which takes you through the fundaments of designing websites that customers will find easy to use. Easy to use websites of course being successful websites.

If nothing else, this book arms the believer with succinctly put arguments to put to the next avid "intro flash page" or "let's make our website different" fan... Krug even provides copy/paste emails to send to higher ups showing how sensible focusing on usability is.

With its how tos, practical examples and explanations this book is a must read for anyone involved in website creation.

Summary: The Title Says It All
Comment: I've read a lot on usability, and this is the single-best source I've seen. Every site designer and developer has to read this book. In fact, everyone on the decision food chain in your organization at least needs to be aware of what Krug teaches us. I will forever use usability testing often and early in the process now. Remember, it doesn't matter how cool your application or website is--if people can't use it, they will get frustrated and leave. Please--give us all a better experience!

Summary: definitely not a waste of paper :-)
Comment: This is a wise book, intentionaly kept small to be qucikly digestible. Very cleanly and simply the author describes where are the problems customers/users encounter while browsing the web, and how web contents designers should avoid making users think (more than absolutely necessary) while trying to do something on one's pages (look for/report/buy/pay/etc). The best book I have read in years.

Summary: No brainer - great book on web usability
Comment: This book got me into web usability. After reading a whole lot of other books - it is still my favorite. It's short and gets straight to the point(s). An approach I truly appreciate. As much as I like the Jakob Neilson books, this one is a better read, and it's concepts really stick with you longer.

If you're a web designer, it's a must-read.

Summary: Absolutely Required Reading
Comment: This book's content is vital! Every web developer, aspiring or experienced, should read "Don't Make Me Think!" Not only does it give real-world examples of good practice, it conveys the user-centered mindset that should be behind web development. And if nothing else, when your boss wants something bossish on the website ("Make them fill in these 42 fields to subscribe to our newsletter!"), you can say, "Well, a leading usability expert specifically recommends against doing so, and here's why..."

The presentation is every bit as good as the content. Smart humor, a casual writing style, and solid illustrations make this downright entertaining to read. (All-in-all, it's like Edward Tufte meets The Simpsons!)
