Somewhat dated but overall extremely useful
If you've gotten this far without actually looking at the summary information about this tome above, please note that this book contains nearly 1,000 pages. This book is a collection of research papers (of the sort you'd find published in books on HCI or from conferences of the ACM SIGCHI committee) organized into chapters by some shared topic (i.e. human factors, hypertext, speed/language/audition). Each chapter is preceded by a summary of the papers contained therein along with often useful bibliographic citation of related works, all grounded in their utility toward the field of HCI by the editors.Nevertheless, as my title expresses, this book is even by the time I encountered it in graduate school (in 2003), relatively dated. As a supplement to recent publications on the ACM or IEEE digital libraries or through a process of professorial selection of relevant pieces it can nevertheless be an extremely useful textbook to a graduate-level course. As "fun" reading, or as a reference, I would recommend it for the citations to critical work, but also strongly suggest a reading of emergent and current work in the field.

Another Great Morgan Kaufmann Value
This second edition of a collection of great papers on human-computer interaction (HCI) is a different snapshot of the field -- an excellent introduction. In addition to the high quality papers, the text writter b the editors, all highly regarded in the field, add a lot to the reader's understanding. Recommended for students (required for all grad students in HCI), researchers, and for practitioners looking for something deeper than guidelines.
