Summary: Well layed out
Review: Just like a good web page, this book is well organized and easy to read. The explanations are kept deliberately simply, which serves to enhance its function as a reference work that you can return to again and again, instead of forcing you to read through dense tutorials every time you just need a simple reminder.

Summary: Have no fear, the rave reviews are not just hyperbole!
Review: Knowing nothing (zero without the rim) about designing web pages, I inquired about "HTML for Dummies". After reading several less than stellar reviews I noticed that many people recommended this book. I was not disappointed and am looking forward to the 4th edition. The layout is simple to follow and the examples are very complete. She really took the time to systematically cover the important little things, and the specific quirks of Netscape vs. Internet Explorer. It is a outstanding introduction and reference book. When I finished reading it I had great confidence in my ability to do something I had never done before.

Review: I don't have anything else to compare this to, as I've never checked out any other HTML book, but this one worked great for me. It's very easy to follow, with a nice layout and a helpful table of contents. It answered all the questions I had, and then some. The biggest compliment I could give is that it helped me design a decent-looking, functional website.
