These are fantastic PDFs, thank you! I have doing some research on breadcrumbs for a new article on my web design blog. These studies have been a great help. I've been noticing that breadcrumbs are often over looked by designers. They take a minimal effort to incorporate into a design and have great benefits and payoffs. I appreciate you sharing your studies!
