A lovingly thorough look at making accessibility part of how we think. Though examples are (naturally) getting a bit dated, this is essential for both technicians and evangelists alike. Here's hoping Sarah and Whitney are working on their second edition. Who is responsible for web accessibility? We all are!

This is the first book on the topic that I've read that I felt did a good job of presenting accessibility not as a list of bulletpoints to check off, but as a way of *thinking* about how you build your site. Whenever anyone is looking to get started in accessibility, this is where I'm going to point them.

Accessibility at the level I want is hard to find, and I still haven't really found it. But this book has so far been the most up to date and definitive for understanding accessibility at many levels (just not the really technical ones). Anyone in the web industry, regardless of how minor a role it is, should read this.

A very good book. It practices what it preaches by following its own recommendations about using clear language and a solid structure. And it works. I like the fact that it’s not code oriented but looks into the different roles in a design team, including management. The book works with a few personas. They are cleverly chosen and work very well to illustrate the different topics. The interviews with different experts work well as well. Should be within reach on every designer’s bookshelf.

I've decided to stop rating books I read for grad school, but this was a very good book. It takes a holistic view of web design, accessibility, and usability.

Straightforward, friendly, and a surprisingly accessible introduction to what can sometimes feel like a super dry topic. I still feel out of my depth with some of the more technical aspects of accessibility, but I feel I'm better armed to teach myself what I don't know, and to consider accessibility from the outset of a design project.
