I love the Apple style and human interface guides and find it amazing how
far Apple goes out of its way to be different from Microsoft.
That said, Lois is looking for a book to fill an Amazon order. She asked
for what we would recommend as reading material.
Personally, I'd be interested in any advanced books or resources in the
area of:
* Information experience
* Multi channel publishing
* Video and new media
* Data visualization
I've searched for books but can't tell whether they may have what I want,
when I don't even know what I'm looking for (within those broad categories).
Lois, if you've got some money to spend, why not pick up The Animator's
Survival Guide and call it a day? LOL.
