Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective Interaction Design is an intermediate-level book about interface and interaction design, structured as a pattern language. It features real-live examples from desktop applications, web sites, web applications, mobile devices, and everything in between. This site contains excerpts from some of the book's patterns. The book has more, of course -- more introductory material, more patterns, and more examples.
This is a definitely good book to study before you set out to design some new application or website and maybe an inspiration to revisit existing material.
