This is one of those books that I had heard about frequently but never had never read, so when Amazon UK expanded their Super Saver Delivery to Portugal I decided to buy it (along with Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems ). 

When I got the book I was a bit disappointed. The book was very thin, with lots of images and colour which made me think this was just a much hyped book that really offered no real insight about Web usability.

It turned out, however, to be a great book. I read it in two evenings and found Krug's discourse to be funny, to the point and valuable. He may not go into all of the details of Web usability like Nielsen's book (Designing Web Usability ), but exactly because of that, you get the most important issues discussed in a small, easy to read book.
