"Designing Web Usability"
I'm reading Jakob Nielsen's Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity.
Most importantly, he says: be brief. Brevity makes for good writing in general. On the web it is even more important since screens are harder to read than paper, and the web encourages distraction.
The book itself is very attractive, on heavy stock with screenshots of various good and bad designs. It might be the first coffee-table book with genuinely useful and important content.
Why don't more people follow his recommendations?
