"Hilarious book about how we can't use ordinary things--with very good design advice. Everyone I know who's read this spends the next week screaming 'bad design!' whenever they trip over a curb or can't open a door. Recommended reading for my architecture students--my entire hour class on 'how to design a door' was initially based on observations in this book."
"Readable, informative, and very interesting. Anyone into user interface design should read this book for background and insights into stupid things like door handles. What makes a successful door handle? The same answers to that question lead you into the questions to answer for GUIs."
"Want to know why VCR controls are so commonly frustrating, why it's easy to turn on the wrong burner in an unfamiliar kitchen, or why simple things like doors sometimes confuse? Read this book and you be more likely to see whats happening when things like this happen."
