[ID Discuss] Books (was Content strategy - Written aspects of interaction design)

[Reimann, Robert]

_Designing Visual Interfaces_ is perhaps my favorite
book on UI design. Even though the focus is visual,
there's plenty of interaction goodness there as well.
It's a must read, IMHO, for anybody designing interactions
that include a visual component.

Larry Constantine's _Design for Use_ is also an interesting 
read, especially if you are into UML and use cases.

Dan,
Just a couple....

Designing Visual Interfaces (Mullet/Sano)
The elements of User Experience (Garrett)

I believe these are helpful and insightful to 'our discipline'.

There are plenty of books with the word 'usability' in the title, but I
guess that would be politically incorrect :)

Not to mention books! Where are the interaction design books? Part of 
getting our discipline out there is educating new practitioners and 
non-designers about what we do and how to do it. I count a handful of 
books in specifically our discipline:

- About Face
- Inmates
- Designing from Both Sides of the Screen
- The Art of Interaction Design
- Interaction Design
- Design for New Media: Interaction Design for Multimedia and the Web
- Interaction Design for Complex Problem Solving


To my knowledge, only About Face and Inmates have any mind share and 
are widely read. Any I'm missing?


Dan
