5.0 out of 5 stars Eyeballs Rule, April 15, 2009
This review is from: Eyetracking the News (Perfect Paperback)
I try to get my hands on many different books about the reader behavior -- particularly how readers read online in commercial contexts. This one is awesome.

This book, summarizing the Eyetracker Study, provides theoretically compelling and highly practical information about reader behavior, specically news-y reading in print vs. online.

What do readers read? For how long? In what sequence? How are methodical readers and scanning readers different? How do photo teasers shape reading behaviors? Other sorts of teasers? How does advertising shape these behaviors?

This books cuts to the chase. It is not an academic tome. It is all about the results.

The layout is also dynamic and reader-friendly which, one might hope would be the case in a book like this.

Trade paperback, 157 pp, lots of graphics. Here are the highpoints of the Table of Contents.
