Sebastien,

A great idea!  Here's the ones I can think of off the top of my head...

***********************

A Practical Guide to Usability Testing, by Joseph Dumas and Janice Redish 
(this has a lot of good forms and a step-by-step approach to usability 
testing.  It's one of my favorites.)

About Face, by Alan Cooper (if you buy one book on UI design, buy this 
one.  It's got all kinds of good examples of what things work and what 
things don't, and why.)

Usability Engineering, by Jacob Neilsen (if you can get around his 
arrogant assumptions and ignore some of his unsubstantiated opinions (see 
the last chapter), there's some good info in there)

Set Phasers on Stun, by Steven Casey (reads like a novel.  Somewhat scary 
examples of usability gone awry, but it really brings home the message of 
how important usability is.  If you're trying to get a usability study 
approved at your company, make your boss read this.)

The Design of Everyday Things, by Donald Norman (another one that reads 
like a novel.  You'll never look at a door the same again. Really!)

The Invisible Computer, by Donald Norman (where computers (er, excuse me, 
"information appliances" are going.  Quite interesting, and you can see 
it's happening already)

Human Factors for Technical Communicators, by Marlana Coe (interesting 
background info and studies, related to design but not specifically UI 
design)

******************************

Also, is anyone familiar with "A Handbook of Usability Testing," by 
Jeffrey Rubin? It's on my list of books to order, but I haven't gotten 
around to it yet...

Hope this helps!
