[Irl-dean] Design for all books

[Joshue O Connor]

Hi Donal,

While not totally related to Design for All - to get the ball rolling - 
here are a few that would be of use to graphic designers:

*General Accessibility and Web Standards
*
Building Accessible Websites by Joe Clark (New Riders)
Designing with Web Standards by Jeffery Zeldman (New Riders)
 Constructing Accessible Websites 
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590591488/qid=1125402938/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-5575356-3248607?v=glance&s=books>  
by Jim Thatcher (Glasshaus)
Web Usability and Navigation by Merlyn Holmes (Osbourne)

Friends of ED also product some nice books for Developers and Designers 
and if you get some I would gladly borrow (they are glossy and a bit 
pricey)!!

*CSS*

    * CSS Zen Garden by Dave Shea et al (New Riders)
    * Eric Meyer On CSS <http://www.ericmeyeroncss.com/> (New Riders,
      June 2002)
    * More Eric Meyer on CSS <http://more.ericmeyeroncss.com/> (New
      Riders, April 2004)

*Design and Usability*

Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by _Steve 
Krug 
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&rank=relevancerank&field-author-exact=Steve%20Krug/103-5575356-3248607>_

The Design of Everyday things by Donald A Norman

You could pick a few by Jakob Nielsen et al but I just read in a review 
of one of his books where he critiques the Amazon site and he says that 
their use of 'Hello' (as in 'Hello Josh' etc) is an unnecessary level of 
friendliness - so I've gone off him.

Hope some of these help

Josh
