Love (and books) to UX Book Clubs
We’ve been huge fans of the growing UX Book Club movement ever since it was a twinkle in Steve Baty’s and Andrew Boyd’s eyes. In a few months, about 60 clubs have cropped up in locations all around the world (is there one in your area? if not, start one; it’s easy). Just this month, there are over 20 meetings, from Auckland to Warsaw.
