2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but Common Sense
Somehow the authors manage to fill several hundred pages without ever saying anything interesting or beyond the level of common sense. The authors seem to try to avoid discussing specifics, but talking about user interfaces in general terms has very little value in my opinion. I'm sure there are many better books available on this topic, so my advice is to keep looking!

The unique contribution of good usability designers is in what they reject, not it what they accept.
