Designing visual interfaces, communication oriented techniques

First of all, this book is insanely expensive: $60 for a 300 page book that looks like a regular academic title is absurd. I value it at $30 or so.

It is a good book, though, giving many good instructions on GUI design, both in the graphic and in the Look and Feel department. The ‘communication oriented’-ness helps give the book a solid structure.

Also an interesting read for afficionados of old skool windowing systems. Remember the flat MacOS interface? NextStep? Open Look?

A must-read for any designer earning his or her money on designing websites.
