"This is the kind of book I've been searching for!" — Robert Renman, Augustana University College
"I used your textbook in draft form this past semester for my undergraduate HCI course. It was fantastic. The students loved it, I loved it, and we had a great time. I think they learned a lot." — Mary Jane Wiltshire, School of Engineering, University of Portland
"I realty like the book and think that it would fit into the course I'm going to teach in the fall." — John K. Estelt, Ohio Northern University
For one-quarter to one-semester undergraduate courses in Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction courses, Web Design and User Interface Design.
This text is the only one of its kind that addresses Human-Computer Interaction as it relates to Web site design. It stresses principles that can be learned, not just implementation techniques. The text provides a working knowledge of Web design, aimed at creating Web pages and sites that are attractive and user-friendly, plus allows students to become familiar with the concepts and terminology of Web design as a basis for further study.

1) The book is much more expensive than books with similar content.
2) The eloquent Jared Spool, listed as an author, provided only a short preface.
3) The book was designed as a college textbook. Who loves or hates a textbook enough to bother to review it?
As a classroom aid, the book is superb. Usability principles are presented from foundations to applications clearly and without padding. Unlike many usability texts, statements are backed with ample references. The color illustrations lighten the book sufficiently to soften any textbooky stigma.
Each chapter ended with review questions and exercises. Some of them were very interesting and creative, but if you are not in a classroom with an instructor who has access to the password-protected answers, you are on your own.
So the Web professional attracted to the material and learning on his own will inevitably feel a bit cheated out of the full value of the book.
