 Book for class
This was a decent book on UI design. It's a big one and there is lots of reading, but it breaks it all down very well. I would recommend for anyone interested in UI.
 Useful to understand the why
Mr. Galitz's reasons for using design standards and the detailed consequences of poor design are backed up by reasearch. He gives specific recommendations for standards such as typefaces, point size, label and caption styles, etc. He explains and uses a good shorthand throughout the book for items as "signal" versus "noise." This is handy to quickly distinguish between things that are good/favorable/communicative/useful compared to things that are interfering/obstructive/not useful. This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to understand the "why" of good screen design and then learn the "what."
Superb book for information designers
As a practising information designer I found this to be an excellent source of information, especially for students. This book takes people back to basics, something that a lot of modern IT "professionals" overlook.
 Good book - but antiquated
It has good information that is still relevant for XP and Vista, but is mostly geared towards older versions of Windows.
