The Design Of Everyday Things (mentioned above as well) is one of my favourite design books.

I've heard good things (and lots of comments here, so obviously I should read that one...)

These are 2 books I not only reread but recommend every person involved with development or design around web to read.

"The Non-Designers Design Book" by Robin Williams. It was written without the web in mind. It's mostly about typography and spacing for posters, business cards, flyers, etc. But it translates suprisingly well to web design.

I second. I read "The Inmates are Running the Asylum" after I read "Don't Make me Think." These are 2 books I not only reread but recommend every person involved with development or design around web to read.

"The Inmates are Running the Asylum" is a non-techie book which covers more of the business-case 'why'.

Information Dashboard Design is pretty solid. not great for getting customers in, but excellent for internal reporting and tracking.
