Michael B. Moore writes "A thin but very good primer on what makes good interfaces work. Even though they come from the Sun/X/Motif world their advice is platform neutral."

My two cents?

I have found too few good books on Interface Design that neatly combine theory and practice into a seemless learning and reference tool. Designing Visual Interfaces is special. It is often on my desk, the spine hopelessly cracked as it's been forced open to one page or another, post-its peering out along the edges. It belongs in the canon.

One of the most practical and rewarding books on design I've read.

.. although it's stunningly expensive for the size: about $50 at Amazon. Possibly get it used, but now that it's been updated by an entire generation of UI design theory and books, it's not a must-have.

perhaps you can recommend alternatives. I havent' found many as good.

i don't regret obtaining 'Designing Visual Interfaces' one bit. Because it's thought-provoking it's slow going, but I'm working my way through it. A good companion volume would be "Sources of Power" by Gary Klein. It's not visual, it's about how decisions are made...
