![Cover of Mismatch by Kat Holmes, published 2018-10-16 by The MIT Press, a 176-page hardcover](./cover-6131262.jpeg)

I grabbed this one after landing on a Don Norman piece ([www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me](https://www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me)). I enjoyed “The Design of Everyday Things" so I followed Norman's suggestion to read Mismatch.

Pretty quick read, and full of things so obviously correct that I got impatient with the author's patience? Good stuff.
