JUNIOR UX DESIGNER: When I wrote the post "How to prepare for your first job as a UX Designer", one of my four recommendations https://lnkd.in/ekFx_8b was to read a good textbook. The five books that have been most useful in my career as a UX consultant are (from least to most advanced): (1) Don't Make Me Think https://amzn.to/2x6qYvZ by Steve Krug. Learn all the basics about user interface design and usability. - Excerpt: https://bit.ly/2kr6WHi (2) Designing with the Mind in Mind https://amzn.to/2jyF6Lj by Jeff Johnson. The psychology and physiology on which user interface design guidelines are based. - Video: https://bit.ly/2IRchBW (3) Universal Methods of Design: https://amzn.to/2GJb3Y1 by Bella Martin & Bruce Hannington. Get to know 100 research methods. - Table of contents: https://lnkd.in/eYhtQyQ - Review: https://lnkd.in/e3nUe8k (4) User and Task Analysis for Interface Design https://amzn.to/2hQheyE by JoAnn T. Hackos & Janice C. Redish. All about site visits, observation, interviewing and analysis. - Table of contents: https://lnkd.in/ezN4hE9 (PDF) (5) User Interface Design and Evaluation https://amzn.to/2z2qzxw by Debbie Stone et al. If you could own only one UX book, this is it! - Preview: https://lnkd.in/efdwUvB

This is a great list for anyone who’s starting their UX journey!
In the "oldie, but goodie" category is: Task-Centered User Interface Design by Clayton Lewis and John Rieman that can be downloaded for free: https://bit.ly/2J4PINL
The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman was also a good starting point for me.
