One of the things I had while writing the book was an inspiration bookshelf. These were books that not only inspired the content of Design for How People Learn, but also the style of it. Here are some of those books:
The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman
The Non-designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams
Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud
Don’t Make Me Think by Steve Krug
The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell
The Head First Books by Kathy Sierra, et al
