Dope citations ( )

Good overview, and great pointers. Examples are good too, although sometimes a bit hard to get.
Some concepts overlap.
No recap of multiple principles on some examples. Could have been useful.
Marked ~40 principles that are essential to my j0b as product manager. However, no big discoveries or true guidelines. Simply confirming what I observed already. ( )

What to expect from a book with such a title.

I only read about 30 principles, including a few ones that might be helpful.
Disliked this book. ( )

The subtitle of this book is "100 ways to enhance usability, influence perception, increase appeal, make better design decisions and teach through design" and it is pretty accurate. The principles are drawn from different design disciplines including information architecture, interface design and architecture as well as engineering and (some) marketing. There is a strong bias in favor of human-factors principles dealing with individual perception and cognition. I would imagine that it can serve as a handy reference for interaction designers, particularly in cases concerned with interface design and usability.
