Book Blog #269: Don't Make Me Think Revisited by Steve Krug

Title: Don't Make Me Think
Author: Steve Krug
# of Pages: 200 (ebook)
Genre: Nonfiction, Design, Business
Rating: ★★★★☆
Synopsis: In this 3rd edition, Steve returns with fresh perspective to reexamine the principles that made Don’t Make Me Think a classic-–with updated examples and a new chapter on mobile usability. And it’s still short, profusely illustrated…and best of all–fun to read.
Review: Short and funny!

Event though it's been several years (time for the fourth edition?) since Krug released this version his book Don't Make Me Think (Revisited), the examples he uses throughout the book are still very relevant today. With fun footnotes and plenty of visual examples, Krug makes an otherwise boring topic on web usability interesting and enjoyable.

Some of the points Krug makes might see obvious/intuitive. They probably are, but these book highlights this points so they are top of mind if you are ever faced with the problem of web design/usability. While this might not be the most interesting book you'll ever read, it's so short that it's a nice one to at least skim if this is relevant to you.
