Summary: Jump-started my problem-solving process
Comment: Having already read through the first few chapters, today I sat down with an explicit need: to solve a problem that involved searching and filtering a large set of data. This book came through for me. Yes, some of it appears obvious when you first read through, but once you have a specific problem to address, its true utility emerges. I opened to the Showing Complex Data chapter, and as I read through, ideas began to form. Some came directly from the book, others were inspired by or related to what I was reading. I took notes, and those notes helped me develop the questions about the data and the users I need to answer in order to continue.
When you're faced with a design challenge, and you're a bit stymied as to how to proceed, this book will help move the solution forward. Even if you think you have a solution, this book can help you make it fresh and creative.

Summary: Good Primer, Great Resource
Comment: A fantastic how-to and reference for interface design. Well stocked with images and illustrations. The layout is beautiful and functional. It's incredibly easy to quickly find what you need in here.
Designing Interfaces is a good primer, but it's also a great reference. Shoot through the book for a quick understanding of how different interfaces work and what their design patterns are. Then keep it handy when interface discussions come up.
I've already recommended it to four people who've already purchased it and a few more are on the way.
Very highly recommended.

Summary: A great way of looking at complex issues
Comment: There's much to enjoy about Designing Interfaces; the presentation, the clear writing, the organization of the design patterns. Strangely enough, I found it a little difficult to get into, but the specific design patterns are very valuable. Half the time it's was just to confirm long held beliefs about UI design, other times there was some wonderful insights.
There is now no longer a good reason to re-invent the UI wheel every time.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: Excellent resource in the various theories and ideas in Interface Design. While I tried reading it front to back, I found it much more useful to simply refer to the chapters I was interested in. Thus, I feel it is more of a reference book than a read-it-all-the-way-through book.
