I already own the popular suggestions, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, Designing Interactions, as well as two others. I’m working through this list to get more insight into what others think about designing the “perfect” product. After this, I’ll probably start digging into landing page books since it’s such an important subject in this search-engine bootstrapped world.
