Purchase options and add-ons
The discipline of user experience (UX) design has matured into a confident practice and this edition reflects, and in some areas accelerates, that evolution. Technically this is the second edition of The UX Book, but so much of it is new, it is more like a sequel.
One of the major positive trends in UX is the continued emphasis on design―a kind of design that highlights the designer’s creative skills and insights and embodies a synthesis of technology with usability, usefulness, aesthetics, and meaningfulness to the user. In this edition a new conceptual top-down design framework is introduced to help readers with this evolution.
This entire edition is oriented toward an agile UX lifecycle process, explained in the funnel model of agile UX, as a better match to the now de facto standard agile approach to software engineering. To reflect these trends, even the subtitle of the book is changed to “Agile UX design for a quality user experience.
Designed as a how-to-do-it handbook and field guide for UX professionals and a textbook for aspiring students, the book is accompanied by in-class exercises and team projects.
The approach is practical rather than formal or theoretical. The primary goal is still to imbue an understanding of what a good user experience is and how to achieve it. To better serve this, processes, methods, and techniques are introduced early to establish process-related concepts as context for discussion in later chapters.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021Amazing book, very complete, it explains everything in detail and very useful examples to better understand the concepts. It allows to know how to effectively incorporate UX evaluation and UX design in an agile development environment.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2019God condition
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020This book is the comprehensive UX book that I ever read, the graphics are stunning, and it features examples from all the latest technology and trends in UX Design. Also, it doesn't just talk about concepts, it has a lot of practical material that can help a UI/UX Designer as they are working on projects.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021Too vague to be practical, this book is helpful for people looking for a reference encyclopedia for UX. It is monotonous, process-oriented, and dry. It breaks many UX/color theory rules in its design - light blue "helper" text on white background? All in all, was very unimpressed, it's too thorough (and not in a good way) to be of practical use to anyone. The chapter on note taking goes on for pages about different organization methods which don't pertain to UX except derivatively. Not good value, and I tried to read it with an open mind.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021A complete chore to try to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, but a big read!
This is the holy-grail of UX insight but it's not for the faint-hearted! It's a sizeable book full of juicy nuggets of UX theories and is very helpful for those looking to up their knowledge on the matter. Would highly recommend to others!
