Summary: Just what I needed!
Comment: This book wins kudos for honesty of title: I really believe you could work through it at a chapter a day, and teach yourself pretty much everything you needed to know about HTML and web site design. I started with some programming background, but absolutely no HTML, and using this book was able to design and implement two different web sites, granted both fairly simple, but not trivial, either, and entirely hand-coded.
The book covers the basics of just about every aspect of web design, with pointers to how to obtain more in-depth information on advanced topics (graphics, scripting...), if you need it. Probably most people will skip some chapters (I skipped Java and Java Script, for example), but they're there to go back to, if you need them later.
Best of all, the book is well written. The presentation is well organized, and the writing is clear and direct.

Summary: Great for learning, great for reference!
Comment: This book was recommended by a close friend who wanted me to learn HTML so I could do some work for his Web Publishing company. Well, I went through it in less than two weeks and was ready to go to work!
The book is written simple-to-understand, but gives enough technical information to keep you interested long after you've learned HTML.
As far as reference goes, you can't get much more complete. I keep this book close at hand to look up the various HTML commands and how to use them.
The book teaches cascading style sheets, tables, forms, basic javascript, and the new version even includes coverage on XHTML!
The main author, Laura Lemay, writes in a style that is not condescending, and her humor is not forced. It's almost as if your friend were teaching you this stuff.
I would definitely recommend this book, especially the new 3rd edition!
P.S. If this book seems to advanced, I would also recommend HTML Goodies (just see the website as an example)...

Summary: First rate entry level HTML primer
Comment: Laura Lemay has become one of the premier writers of web development texts, and this book is a good example. Many entry level texts get you started using code that has been depricated by the W3C, knowing full well that future browsers may not support the coding methods they are teaching. Laura does an excellent job of introducing newcomers to the "art" of web development while at the same time, prepares them for impending changes in the coding standards. The basics are well covered with easy to understand examples. Advanced techniques are introduced in such a way as not to confuse the novice. While the book does not come with a CD rom with sample code, most books this size are considerably more expensive. In my opinion, the trade off was well worth it. This book is an absolute must have for the novice who is serious about learning HTML.
