What people on Hacker News said
Less of an instruction book, more of a catalogue of how you might (or might not) present some given type of information. Good for browsing through when you're feeling you haven't hit the right organizational approach/metaphor for the task at hand.
it's handy because it has a catalog of design elements and tells you when you should and shouldn't use them. That's pretty helpful compared to more abstract theories about UI stuff, for some people.
