Very enjoyable read, with beautiful sketches. You don't have to be an architect to appreciate the lessons, I think many of lessons apply to design principles in general as well.

At chapter 3, and already impressed. There are flaws in us as a human, psycologically, that usually prompts us to do certain action more than the others.

It's definitely a good read, a 5-star book, well thought of, and well supported with research data from various sources.

Thumbs up for Robert!!

A big chunk of our time at work is spent on writing. I guess it is naturally important to learn some tips on how to write well.

And Andy doesn't just teach you just about copywriting, he teaches you how to be understood.

Great tips I would have to say, very enjoyable read.

I just have to give 5 stars for this book, it's very well written in a casual manner like a mentor speaking to you; sections broken down in a list of tips, with each tip takes no longer than a page, and accompanied with a picture.

Found the tips are very useful, definitely worth every dollar spent.

This is a totally different approach compared to the other photography books that I have read.

It felt like having a mentor standing beside you, in which you keep asking questions and he'll just answer you in a short and clear answer.

There are definitely lots of tips to learn for beginner, but if you have passed the beginner stage, you probably want to skip this book and go ahead with the book no 2.

Starting was good, very inspiring, the other half I find it a bit dry.

Love it so far, straight to the points, lots of screenshots, you never get lost. Can't wait to finish up this book.

Not too bad, with lots of explaination and sample codes, but find the explaination a bit too elaborate at times, guess it's good for beginner. I was hoping for a little bit more, thus just giving it 4 stars. Covers a little bit of iPhone application development at the end, going on for my next book on iPhone dev.

Agree that if you are new to Javascript, and would like to step it up to another level it's a great book to read. If you are not you may have already known some of the tricks from resources you have read across the web, like YUI theatre videos, blogs or JSLint site.
