• Usability is often overlooked
  If you don't yet know much about web usability, I would recommend this book (and it's predecessor) to you. If you are already keen on the idea of web usability, then you may want to skip the first book (it is a bit dated), and grab this one as a reference.

• Great resource!
  This book validates things I've have known for years and guarantees I have been on the right track. It also allows us as Information Architects to reference areas of workflow that are up for debate daily, such as what users look for on a page, where and how often.
  This book is a must for any IA or web designer.

• Lots of words
  I've been on Nielsen's mailing list for a couple years now and supported most of what he said, so I bought this book thinking I'd get more good info.

• Great book, but a bit US oriented
  This is a great book (bible?) when it comes to usability issues. Reading is easy if you're not totaly new to using and coding websites.
  The only "downside" to this book is that it is very US website oriented. As web design/usability in the US is way behind Europe and especialy Scandinavia many of the design/GUI examples in the book feels "old school".
  If you are into improving usability for websites - buy this book!
