Customer Rating:      Summary: This book is the Tops! Comment: I bought this book because I thought it would help me tame my own hobby site...; all I can say is wow, wow, wow.
Steve Krug tells you everything you need to know about effective interface design, from the most valuable point of view of all ... that of the user.
I'm really fired up about applying all SK's killer interface ideas to my own site. The only problem is, he's made me realize how badly laid out my site is at the moment. My re-design is going to take flipping years.
But anyway, this book is a classic. I have already passed it around my day-job firm's web team and studio, and they all agree that this is the best tome they have read on the subject to date.
If you only buy one book on web site usability, make it this cracker. Great advice, fab typesetting and you should easily be able to read it over your commute (I did).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug Comment: Steve Krug has written an excellent and witty guide to web usability. It is a "must read" for students of web design as well as for professional web designers and developers. Clearly written and fun to read, it's bound to become a bestselling favorite!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good no nonsense overview to webpage mechanics Comment: Good Information! This was my first web design or usability book to read, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I particularly found chapter 6 very informative. I teach computers to grades 1 thru 8 and I really put the info about the parts of a webpage to look for to good use when designing a lesson plan for webpage navigation. This book is very understandable. Also, the chapters on usability testing can be very helpful to any corporate web design teams.
Customer Rating:      Summary: True to Itself Comment: Excellent book. Well written; concise, illustrative, and to the point. No fluff, just a great guide to help with usability testing without overwhelming you. Much more useful than Jakob Nielson's "Designing Web Usability"--pound for pound.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bulls-eye! Comment: Simply the best book on UI design that I've come across. Fun, easy to read (the author follows his own advice) and dead on. I was able to put this knowledge to use right away. Bravo.
