Hundreds of thousands of Web designers and developers have relied on usability guru Steve Krug's guide to understand the principles of intuitive navigation and information design. Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it's one of the best loved and most recommended books on the subject. It's a core foundational book that every Web designer must internalize to make their designs truly effective. In this substantially revised edition, Steve returns with fresh perspective to reconsider the principles he originally laid out--commenting, amending, amplifying, and offering fresh new examples to underscore their importance. This edition adds an important new chapter on mobile as well as integrating coverage of mobile throughout.

A common sense approach to usability submitted by hastingsh on June 17, 2017, 9:14am This book is a must-read if you are interested in web/mobile usability. Steve Krug is a true expert, and his approach in explaining usability is very practical and easy to digest

great little book on usability submitted by robinfowler on July 3, 2019, 12:40pm The stuff on usability is written re: web/mobile apps, but it has applications outside of that space as well. Well-written and quick to get through, with lots of good stuff.
