one of the best books ever written on interface design. the authors take a methodical Bauhaus approach to explaining visual design. they supply ample case studies showing the good and bad of visual interface design. many of the examples are from os design, but are instructive for anyone doing web based interface design.

this does not cover interaction or strategic design.

The best book on user interface design I have read. The examples may be old (from 90s), but the design principles are timeless.
