Product description
Review
Choice "Even classics can be updated and improved... Highly recommended." "This book changed the field of design. As the pace of technological change accelerates, the principles in this book are increasingly important. The new examples and ideas about design and product development make it essential reading."--Patrick Whitney, Dean, Institute of Design, and Steelcase/Robert C. Pew Professor of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology "Twenty-five years ago The Design of Everyday Things was instrumental in orienting my approach to design. With this latest revised and expanded edition, Don Norman has given me a host of new ideas to explore as well as reminding me of the fundamental principles of great and meaningful design. Part operating manual for designers and part manifesto on the power of designing for people, The Design of Everyday Things is even more relevant today than it was when first published."--Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO, and author of Change by Design

Must read for designers

As a UX/UI designer I believe it’s a must read for all of those that want to understand functionality of design better.

Damaged cover
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 September 2020Verified Purchase
Not a review of the book, I'm sure it's great. Unfortunately the copy I received was supposed to be brand new but the cover was quite badly damaged, acceptable for a second hand book but not one that is listed as new.

Good book but cheap version
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 22 June 2019Verified Purchase
Get the MIT press version if you intend to keep the book. I have the kindle version and its much better (on an iPad). The paper and book quality is abysmal.
The book is very well known and you can search for the author's videos to give you an overview of what this book is about. Makes you think and definitely a good starting point if you want to learn more about design

Cheap Print Book! Not Original!
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 15 September 2020Verified Purchase
I bought this book in March, but got to reading it only today. It looks like a cheap print book of the original! The print is crooked on the pages - on some pages it is almost cut off at the top of the page! The text looks faded and the images are barely visible! There's terrible black ink blotches on some pages! I wish I had taken a good look at it the day I bought it so I could have returned it! Very disappointed with the seller!
