[comp.cog-eng] The Psychology Of Everyday Things

     A while back, someone mentioned that "The Psychology of Everyday Things",
by Don Norman, was a must read for interested designers.

     Well, they were right.  I found this to an excellent book, one that
should definitely be read by anyone aspiring to design things correctly.
A complete citation for the book is:

	Norman, Donald A., The Psychology of Everyday Things. 
	   Basic Books, Inc., New York. 1988.

I had to order my copy through the local B Dalton book store.  $19.95.

     Norman often points out in his book that things which receive design 
prizes often are completely unusable.  So to paraphrase him, I'd give this
book a prize, if only he thought more of prizes.
