Customer Rating:      Summary: Incredibly Useful and Current Comment: Neilsen's breakdown of content issues, page design, audience needs, and other usability considerations makes this a highly readable, easy-to-digest book. His ideas are easy to apply both to new and redesigns. I appreciated the many graphical examples and screenshots that went with his points, and was happy that he took the time to explain major issues in fine detail. About the only thing I wouldn't take from this book is the take on intranets, which I found organized unintuitively. But hey, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. . .

Customer Rating:      Summary: Classic book, does not need a review. Comment: This book is a classic, and also a bestseller on its area, like the Design Patterns book.Its awesome value for money, and very beautiful with many coloured web pages reproduced. I am glad the web is changing in this direction. I recommend it to the whole company. I wish companies gave it as Christmas gift to employees generating content to the web.
