Process for usability
Ths book is special for showing how high usability goals change the software development process.It is also though-provoking on how to implement usability. In regard to the reviewer who thought it was all common sense:
a good usability solution looks natural to the user,
but its only common sense after someone has thought of it.
The unique contribution of good usability designers is in what they reject, not it what they accept.

Nothing but Common Sense
Somehow the authors manage to fill several hundred pages without ever saying anything interesting or beyond the level of common sense. The authors seem to try to avoid discussing specifics, but talking about user interfaces in general terms has very little value in my opinion. I'm sure there are many better books available on this topic, so my advice is to keep looking!
