Title: The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web Publisher: New Riders Press Authors: Jesse James Garrett Rating: 5/5  Garret's book is an exceptionally clear and concise outline of the structure of a website or application, with clear hooks onto which a development workflow can map. This book is simple enough for an introductory course, or to give to a colleague, but rich enough to re-orient a seasoned designed. A very useful contribution to our field.

Title: Final Fantasy IX Official Strategy Guide Publisher: Brady Games Authors: Dan Birlew Rating: 3/5  I beat FFIX without the guide. I picked up the guide in a Blockbuster store to see if I missed any major game elements. I'm actually happy that I didn't beat the game with this guide, otherwise I would have made a major mistake. There are advertisements that are littered throughout the guide (i.e. The book says that you can unlock a secret weapon in the game, then there's a little sidenote that says "Refer to Playonline.com for details!"), and it happens on every page. Finally, when you try to go to Playonline.com, you have to become a memeber first. Sigh. I looked at the final battle's description, and it didn't say much about how to beat it (luckily, I beat it without a guide). Overall, it's a reasonable book, but you may be better off just figuring things out on your own.
