I have filtered out some outdated books but this one remains firmly on my 'web and design' bookshelf. It turns out there is still a good reason for it to stay put.
Fifteen years later, UX is an industry, yet somehow every one of the tips contained in this book remain extremely useful and pertinent to beginner and even experienced designers alike. Compare it with any HTML book from the same era (pitching the virtues of table layout), and you’ll realize what an amazing accomplishment that is.
