Frank Thissen has given us a wonderful survey of the many factors affecting screen design for multimedia products. ... The pages are well illustrated ... . The color pages caught my eye ... and will be yet another useful reference. ... The Appendix contains a thorough list of references, broken down into many categories. This list will be a great resource ... . If you could read only one book on the factors affecting screen design, let it be this one. (Rebecca C.
