Good or bad, there aren't many books that I can use for my job that I go through quickly.

In particular I liked the "Selection-Dependent Inputs" chapter where he subjects various design methods to usability testing and reports on the results. I also like his argument for avoiding forms altogether, at least until you have engaged the user.

Unfortunately, as of the time...more

A great summary of what works and doesn't work when designing web forms. Interesting pointers and starting places to think through the problems that a complicated form can create.
