A while back, someone mentioned that "The Psychology of Everyday Things",
by Don Norman, was a must read for interested designers.
Well, they were right. I found this to an excellent book, one that
should definitely be read by anyone aspiring to design things correctly.
A complete citation for the book is:
Norman, Donald A., The Psychology of Everyday Things.
Basic Books, Inc., New York. 1988.
I had to order my copy through the local B Dalton book store. $19.95.
Norman often points out in his book that things which receive design
prizes often are completely unusable. So to paraphrase him, I'd give this
book a prize, if only he thought more of prizes.
