To answer you more specifically, not just interaction design but plenty of other design books including some that aren’t really about design at all but I think are really useful for designers to read and know about.

The only thing that might get left out is architecture because it’s an area that I have much less knowledge about and I think is already well-serviced, but if someone out there wants to write reviews on architecture books, I’m happy to hear from them.

Can't wait Andy.</p> <p>What kind of "design" books will you be reviewing? Any book that falls within the broad "design" spectrum? Or just interaction design?</p> Great! Can’t wait Andy.
