I am looking for a good book on the topic of usability... I am considering Jakob Neilsen's latest Prioritizing Web Usability.

Does anyone have any feedback on it, or other suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy

I haven't read any of his books, but I have read several articles on Neilsen's site. He does seem to be an expert on the subject.

I'd recommend Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think

I second that motion. It's a good introduction to the topic with a lot of practical advice to help you think about the issue logically, without a lot of jargon and pretension.

In addition to Neilsen's web site and books, for a more friendly/humorous angle you might want to check out Vincent Flanders' site: www.webpagesthatsuck.com.

The Web Style Guide (http://www.webstyleguide.com/) is good, too.
