Here are the books I recommended in the second edition of Don’t Make Me Think!, plus two great new ones that came out since then:

  • Caroline Jarrett's definitive book on designing usable Web forms. (I liked it so much, I wrote the foreword.)

  • Ginny Redish's excellent (and much-needed) book about writing for the Web. (Yes, I wrote the foreword to Ginny's book, too.)

If you’re planning to buy one of them at Amazon, I’d be grateful if you’d do it from here, since the cost to you is the same, but they pay me a commission. Strange world, eh?
