Why read it?

1 author picked Interaction Design as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I absolutely love this tome! It is not a coffee table book, but it is by far the best book at explaining the minutiae of interaction design principles and the thinking behind them.

It's not a quick read at 700 plus pages, nor does it contain the latest on-trend examples, but as a reliable reference, it is hard to beat. I wouldn’t be without my copy to refer to. I often suggest my book as a primer and a more accessible starting point for this one.
