Modes are mentioned in many books on user interface design. About Face [Coo95], for example, mentions modes in several different contexts. Jef Raskin’s The Humane Interface [Ras00] has a chapter on modes. Aza Raskin has written a great essay on modes.[99]

Inside Macintosh [Ros86] only covers modes superficially, but it’s worth reading in general.
