2.0 out of 5 stars A Book of Research, not Ideas, Jan 15 2003
By 
This review is from: Usability Inspection Methods (Hardcover)
This book is academic and a dry read. There are better books out there which address this same material that makes for an easier read. But if you want to read the original work that paved the road for those books and usability now, here it is. Academic research that is usability's foundation!

This review is from: Usability Inspection Methods (Hardcover)
I do usability inspections as part of my job. I bought this book based on Nielsen's reputation and the description of this book here on Amazon.com. I was very disappointed to find that this book was scholarly, not practical. After scanning the book, I returned it for refund.
