My Amazon order arrived today. I received five new books - actually only two of them were published in the last year, but they’re new to me so there.
The Inmates are Running the Asylum - Alan Cooper
Alan Cooper’s book is an absolute classic, and probably the most referred to book in all of interaction design. I can only apologize for not buying it sooner. It’s like when I was in junior high collecting comic books. Every time a storyline would reference a previous issue, I’d go crazy until I bought it. Cooper’s work has been referenced so many times that having the book in my hands makes me feel a bit like when I finally got my hands on a compilation of the entire X-Men Inferno series.
Thoughtful Interaction Design - Jonas Lowgren and Erik Stolterman
I don’t know anything about this book, but it looks good. Anytime someone can talk about interaction design and use the word “thoughtful” it makes me smile.
The Design of Future Things - Donald Norman
I want to design future things.
The Design of Everyday Things - Donald Norman
Another book that’s referred to often. Can’t believe I didn’t pick it up at a NNG usability conference w/ a discount.
Technology as Experience - John McCarthy and Peter Wright
Amazon makes recommendations, and I buy. Nuff said.
