Title: Good browsing book
Product review: I'm an amateur web designer/info architect and this book was a pleasure to read. It's not as meaty as other tech-y books out there but it's an excellent place to start. That is, it doesn't have very detailed descriptions of usability practices or methodology. However, it still gives excellent descriptions on things like usability testing (including a pretty good "script" for guidance and illustration). So it's not really for the "converted" who already understand the importance of web usability and encorporating this mindset in design (although the book is still a good investment!).And it's definately THE book to give to a non-technical manager/boss/supervisor who just can't understand the extreme importance of usability and what it means to the design process. Steve Krug writes in a down to earth manner, the book is nicely illustrated with practical examples and you could probably finish it in one sitting but would read it again as a refresher course.
