About Wonder Book Maryland, United States
Biblio member since 2003
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.

Does design matter? Ask the CEO who has seen productivity grow
When user interface design complements how people think and learn, accommodates their physical needs, and meets their expectations for comfort and convenience, the interaction of human and machine is more productive. Good design has quantifiable benefits.
This book addresses interface and screen design from the user's perspective. It brings together the results of more than 300 new design studies, an understanding of people, knowledge of hardware and software capabilities, and the author's practical experience gained from 45 years of work with display-based systems. With expanded coverage of design guidelines for Web-based systems and mobile devices, it's a giant step toward more satisfied users.
Whether you design GUI systems or Web pages, you can
- Understand the many considerations involved in interface and screen design
- Learn the rationale and apply the rules for an effective design methodology
- Identify the components of graphical and Web interfaces and screens -- windows, menus, and controls
- Design and organize screens and Web pages that encourage efficient, accurate comprehension and execution
- Create screen icons and graphics and choose screen colors that make displays easier and more comfortable to use
