Summary: Great Reference!
Review: As an HTML beginner/intermediate learner, this book is a great source of reference. It's not exactly the kind of book you'll sit down and read from cover to cover, but using it to look up a particular subject is perfect. It has great explainations and examples.

Summary: Simple, but what did you expect?
Review: I got this book not to learn html, but as a review. I got lazy and used Dreamweaver for awhile and this was a great buy. HTML is the perfect thing to learn with a book like this.

Summary: Want to build a website? Jump in with Elizabeth Castro!!!
Review: Back I'd say two and half years ago when I was 13, my friend started building websites. Well he wasn't really my friend exactly we just had a few good conversations. And he never recommended me what book too get so I winged it and told my parents to get this book HTML4 by Elizabeth Castro.I thank god I picked this book. This gets you right into making your first webpage/website. The book is simply amazing, I was hooked imediatly, it's very easy too understand Castro does a GREAT job of explaining things. It has everything you need to know about HTML. Nesting tables, frames, even some JavaScript, and CSS is also in the book, which I found very useful. The book is also a great refrence book too keep near by. I use it all the time for symbol codes, or how to do a frameset, since I don't use frames that often. I'm 15 now and this book has influenced me to go look for other books by PeachPit, XML, Perl & CGI, DHTML & CSS, JavaScript 3, and the one I just purchased recently Java 2 for WWW. PeachPit and Castro and the whole team do a great job on getting you started right away. I think I would only buy PeachPit Visual QuickStart Guide books!...

Summary: Awesome Instructions
Review: This book has everything you need to build an awesome website! It gives easy examples in both Microsoft, which I use, and Macintosh, as well. It is very informative. I use mine all the time! It has a really easy to use Table of Contents; You can find just about anything you want in a matter of seconds. Thanks to this book, I am well on my way to having a great site. I bought it with "Sam's Learn HTML in 24 hours" book, and combined they really helped me to learn quickly. I suggest both of them, because at some point one book will be really clear on a particular subject, and the other may not. If you plan on making a site, instead of getting some dumb 'do it for you' program, get this book and teach yourself HTML! You will be happy you did.

Summary: Excellent and quick!
Review: this book is really a "visual quickstart guide." I learned HTML very quickly reading this book. I was able to write code within days. And it has about 1:1 pictures to words ratio. This helps a lot. The explanations of the tags are to the point and the diagrams and examples help you understand a lot. I have two other HTML books way thicker than this one, but i use this one for reference allways! It's a very good book. I recommend it for beginners, or for reference purposes for advanced users.

Summary: solid buy. good for just about everyone
Review: Obviously if your an html guru already, you probably won't need this book or maybe you already own this book. I still use this book as a cute little refresher/reference from time to time. I highly recommend it for the novice. However, html 4 is starting to age. Be on the lookout for new web technologoies.

Summary: Buy this one
Review: This is a great book for people just learning and its also a great reference for experienced folks who just want to refresh their memory on syntax etc. The chapters are well organized and I can usually find the exact page I'm looking for in less than 10 seconds. I think this book is more useful than other books that are 4 times as expensive and have 8 times the number of pages.

Summary: Essential Guide for Learning HTML
Review: If you're learning HTML, this book needs to be within your reach. It's layout provides examples of code, along with screenshots of what the code is doing. It also does a good job of noting what the differences are between standard HTML and the Netscape/IE flavors. One of the most useful features of this book is the table of HTML tags and associated attributes. It provides a quick reference for beginner and accomplished web designers alike.
