Thanks Tom, "Don't Make Me Think!" is a good beginning text on
usability. I own it and have it listed in the Web Design References
Book page at <http://www.d.umn.edu/goto/books> under the "Usability"
anchor.
Chris, if you are interested in Testing books, you will find some more
indepth usability testing texts under the "Evaluation" anchor on that
page <http://www.d.umn.edu/goto/books>.
I've especially found these testing books helpful:
Barnum, Carol M. Usability Testing and Research (Part of the Allyn &
Bacon Series in Technical Communication), Longman, 2001.
Dumas and Redish. A Practical Guide to Usability Testing, Intellect,
1999.
Rubin, Jeffrey;. Handbook of Usability Testing: How to Plan, Design,
and Conduct Effective Tests, John Wiley & Sons, 1994.
