Summary: Essential information for information design
Review: This book literally lives next to my keyboard. If you want to convey your content in a way that holds people's attention and keeps them coming back, then you should build your site using the basic principles given in this book. The book also gives you guidelines to the tradeoffs you must make as you make your site more flashy, so you don't hurt yourself by putting up pseudo-creative barriers between your content and your audience. Creativity needs grounding. This book gives you that, and more.

Summary: The web is not paper.
Review: Totally misguided effort to restrict web design down to the most basic principals of print "brochure" design principals. Their notions of design for lowest common denominator are completely laughable for a book written in 1999 (so I restrict my design to a cell phones display parameters?). Concepts of adaptive pages, XML, XSL, etc. have never hit the writer's radar.

Summary: Excellent and Extremely Timely
Review: This book illustrates and demostrates the practical and imaginative side of web based applications. Through the visual side of it, the user can "see" how and what to do and not to do.
Rating:
Summary: Durable
Review: Durable style book on the web design and development. Some previous comments might say there is nothing new and revolutionary in the light volume, but the book focuses on the fundamental aspects behind human interface rather than particular hip-hop fashion. A must for every web page designer.

Summary: knowledge is power
Review: The book addresses most of the important issues any Web designer needs to know to be effective in using internet communications media. It is relevant to the full range of users and is the best book I've found to date on the subject.
Rating:
Summary: Limited View of Internet Design
Review: This book is a study in limitations for Web design and formatting. The Internet is cutting-edge & fluid, not a static medium. This book is for beginers only. If you're serious about becoming a web designer, do not limited yourself with such a rigid design code; realize that the web is a dynamanic element. Seek other books to further your web design work from real designers/art/design schools - not the Yale's Medical department.

Summary: A great book to have next to your computer
Review: While designing a website, whether experienced at it or not, this book is invaluable. The folks at Yale know Information Design, and this book proves it.
Rating: 
Summary: Clean and concise
Review: Another excellent book that even practices everything that is mentioned for designing for the web. For those who feel that this book lacked cutting-edge information, go find it on your own because it's out there.
Rating: 
Summary: Not Practical Enough
Review: This book will be most useful for individuals new to the web and just starting out in designing web pages. The design principles are few and are obvious to anyone who has surfed the Internet. I found no "forward-looking advise" or "deep principles of design" as promised in the reviews.
Rating:
Summary: Useful companion to any series web designer
Review: After visiting the Yale site I had to get this book I have read it and refer to it before, during and at the end of all my web related projects. It is so comprehensive, some of those basic rules do apply to basic design, information architecture and layout
