Good practical guidelines though repetitive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Good book. List coherently the do's and don'ts of interface design. The kind of stuff you think you know but don't practice. Actually give reasons why you should do it 'her' way but undeniably well-founded. I have used it for teaching HCI for several years now though not as a text book. One fault is that the lists of guidelines are endless. This is always the way with guidelines since they are so easy to give but difficult to follow or to interpret how one should implement the guideline. Still, I commend her section on mental models and screen layout. In particular the latter topic is still relevant despite the progress since publication.
