Title: Too much emphasis on error reporting/recovery
Review: The sub title of this book should stop at "How to Improve Error Messages". The focus of the book is on recovering from problems, either from user input or from the system. That's all well and good and their ideas are fine. However I was hoping they'd spend some time talking about how to lay out your forms so they are mor effective and less likely to cause problems for the user in the first place.Especially useful would have been web oriented techniques for forms that span multiple pages.Anyway they didn't put it in the book and that's their choice. What they put in is servicable if all you're interested in is recovery.
