Web usability is all about common sense which makes it seems so easy. But the reality, many of us do not have common sense. So it's good to read a book like this.

I like it because it's compact and concise, and it has lots of comical illustrations which makes it more fun to read. I especially like the case study part where Steve walks through with you on how he would have re-design some sites to make it more usable, it's like instead of giving you a fish, he teaches you how to fish.

The catch is, some of the sample website designs look a bit outdated, but considering it was published in 2005, it can be easily forgiven, so long we understand what Steve was trying to say. (read less)
