Summary: Cookbook-style guide
Comment: This is an excellent primer on usability (particularly websites). Steve makes it clear from the beginning where he stands on the issue of usability: "Don't make me think!"

Many users have already done an excellent job of listing the areas that he covers in the book. I just wanted to mention that it is well written, is itself well designed, and a pretty quick read.

I keep coming back to the book, and my copy is really dogeared.

Summary: Don't Make Me Think
Comment: I think this book is tremendous. I have been designing and updating the look of our company's intranet and extranet since 1998. If I have a question about designing a page, creating a navigation scheme, or writing user instructions, I keep the title of this book in mind. Don't make the user think if you can make something obvious. Use the traditional wording, such as Search, instead of something different. The user will know what to do immediately instead of thinking about what is meant by a different term.

We do the same on highways - all the Stop signs are boringly the same, but we all know what to do without thinking about it.

The book is also very entertaining and a quick read.

Summary: Timeless Sound Advice For Companies & Webmasters
Comment: Steve Krug wrote this book a couple of years ago but the advice is timeless and easy to understand. You won't be overwhelmed reading this book because Steve writes in a breezy, humorous common sense way. He spends a great deal of time explaining the what, how and why of useability testing. I own several websites and never heard of this term until I read this book! Now I know excactly how to do the testing on a tiny budget. There is lots of good advice in this book for entrepreneurs and corporations alike!

Summary: Great book
Comment: Everytime I find myself wondering how I should do something on a site, I reach for this book and find a good answer. I suggest buying it and then rereading it every six months just to make sure you aren't slipping back into bad habits.
The book is both concise and entertaining enough that you won't mind and your site(s) will be the better for it.

Summary: Very easy read with clear and concise points
Comment: I have read several books on web usability and this is by far one of the best. Steve Krug's style is very inviting and fun. This book is a breeze to read through with real examples that will help you improve your new or existing website. This book is a must read for anyone ranging from novice to expert that is responsible for managing a website, whether professional or personal.
