(http://www.jnd.org/ED_Draft: last updated: December 30, 2003)

This page used to have links to DRAFT copies of the chapters of Emotional Design, necessary because some people had to get to them before the book was available.

Although I didn't want the chapters to be very widely available, I don't really mind if they are circulated. The real problem, however, is that the files were DRAFT, not all the copyright permissions had been received, and they were riddled with typographical errors and a few misstatements. It is for these reasons that I do not want them to be circulated. So I have now removed the draft chapters, with the exceptions of the ones listed below.

Please do enjoy the chapters. But please buy -- or borrow -- the book and read the final, finished versions.

Emotional Design: Why we love (or hate) everyday things. 2004. New York. Basic Books.
Translations in progress: Japanese, Korean, Italian.

Order from Amazon.com
