Summary: A great book on software as communications craft
Review: I find this book to be one of the best I've read & applied to my craft.

Worth reading and re-reading, it collects pearls of wisdom from many sources, and relates what we do with what has been done before in other, related communications forms.

Summary: A timeless book, a fun reading!
Review: This is one of the few timeless books. I got this book many years ago, I still kept it on my shelf and flip through it occasionally. Unlike most other high-tech books, this book was written in a fun way with a much broader view. It relates the software development process to the process of creating other communication craft: a movie, a fine art, or a good writing. Revise is the nature of this process. I once used the point I learned from this book successfully convinced my boss(es) at that time to do user interface rapid prototyping.
