More About the Author
Product Description
Interfaces (quarterly newsletter of the Human-Computer Interaction group of the British Computer Society), Spring 2007 (book review and author interview)
"This is a book that people will want to buy, and will potentially open a new audience for our work. In addition, its design alone will alter people's perceptions about our community - I would suggest in a very positive way.
Behind the gloss is some important and rare content. I would say this book will do more for HCI than a bucket load of Nielsen diatribes. While the HCI community has been doing some soul searching, this book neatly encapsulates what we do - research and design - and makes it relevant to industry and consumers alike."

Review
" Designing Interactions offers multiple interfaces in its own right. It"s not just a well-designed, nicely indexed book, with a heft that strains the tendons (the back of my review copy cracked after only a few hours of gentle use), but also an enclosed DVD with interviews, and a website (designinginteractions.com) that includes a weekly downloadable chapter. There"s an inherent lesson in this arrangement, which is the value of choice. The very randomness of Moggridge"s archive shows the truest quality of good interaction design: personality." I.D. Magazine "This is one hell of a book... Part history lesson, part computer science thesis, part design education, part personal design philosophy, it is fascinating, inspirational, occasionally baffling, and often hilarious."

Format:Hardcover
This is a huge book that actually lives up to its size. It's not one of those design books that kind of looks nice and then ends up on your shelf, it's actually full of great anecdotes, experiences and lessons from people who've made great (and not so great) stuff. Oh and it has a DVD of videos from those same people too. Fantastic.
If you design anything remotely interactive, from a website to a bottle-opener, you should own this.

Not only is this book exquisite, it also has remarkably good content. And then on top of that it's huge as well :) Definitely worth buying, I promise you it wont sit on your self, and has interviews with extremely relevant people. The only downside is that in 10 years or so it may be a little dated, but only because the concepts in here will have been implemented.

This is one of the best design books I have ever found. It's everything from the history of how mice and gui's were first invented to just interesting information and interviews from the people who started it all. Still reading it, buts its very interesting and well worth it.

In contrast to the other reviewers, this book did sit 'very heavily' on my desk.
- This makes it great as a means of cooling your macbook, it's definitely not a handbook. Read more
