[Sigia-l] Re: Book recommendations

[Jody Hankinson]

I haven't had the chance to read them closely, but two books propose
just that.
"The Design Of Sites: Patterns, Principles, and Processes For Crafting a
Customer-Centered Web Experience" by Douglas K. Van Duyne, James A.
Landay and Jason I. Hong
"A Pattern Language for Web Usability" by Ian Graham 

As for book recommendations, I'm also a fan of "Why We Buy," by Paco
Underhill.

I was interested to see this book mentioned on this list because the
concept of patterns has spawned a very large literature in the software
developer community, to the extent that it would be difficult to read
many software "recipes" without some knowledge of the common patterns.

Which makes me wonder: is there a good place to look for IA patterns?
