I will make a separate page for the list with authors, covers and short descriptions, once the list gets a little more complete.

These came to mind: “Mobile Web Design” by Cameron Moll and “Javascript Performance Rocks” by Amy Hoy & Thomas Fuchs. They’re also available in digital form so we’re saving nature too:P

Aki, could you add authors to the list?

I’ve been meaning to write up my own list of “Must read books” for a while now. “Web Analytics: An Hour a Day” and “Letting Go of the Words” sound very interesting! I’ll have to check them out, before I do :P

Well, thanks to you. You’re the one who originally pointed me towards Signal vs. Noise… Basically in a way you’ve caused that I just ordered 50 copies of Getting Real and that we’re using Basecamp and Highrise extensively here @ Futurice.

Do they have to be about implementation details? If not, Getting Real by 37signals is essential!
