The library.
Books, tools, newsletters and courses across product management, design and user psychology. Each one has a line on what it is actually good for, so you can tell whether it is worth your weekend.
Everything here links to the publisher, the author, or the tool itself. We do not host books or hand out copies of them. If a title is worth reading, it is worth buying.
