[thelist] Any opinions on these IA/Design books?

[Bev Corwin]

There is also some limited information available at ADI:

http://www.advanceddesign.org

It is more focused on "design" rather than technology design,  but there is
a group of UI people there too.  I've found a lot of good basic principles
there do apply.
