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."


The Architectural Review, April 2007 (in "Comment" section by Francis Duffy):
"Designing Interactions provides a cornucopia of wonderful data on this rapidly developing frontier in the form of 40 interviews with [Moggridge's] industry heroes, the pioneers who have found ways to make the power of the computer accessible not just to techies and nerds but to everyone. The interviews brilliantly illuminate the series of advances through which user access to computer technology has been, and continues to be, revolutionised ... What can architects learn from interaction design? Can the design of a building really be compared to the design of a new handheld device? Moggridge's book has persuaded me that there is everything to be learned from the way in which manufacturers and developers of new electronic products, both hardware and software, search systematically for feedback from users ... Designing interactions is the key to rethinking both the city and the office building."

Laing "Lazy reviewer" (London, UK) - See all my reviews    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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
