Summary: HTML Complete Concepts and Techniques--Shelly Cashman Series
Review: This is a VERY poorly done book! There are numurous mistakes, omissions, and transpositions throughout the entire book and the figures shown as examples don't follow the text, leaving you to wonder which is correct. Wait until a proofread version is done or find another book.

Review: Word has it this publisher puts out exceptional product. Not so here. This book's typo's are as blatant as the infamous crash of MS Windows 98 on its debut. Although the book does reduce the learning of HTML to a level that is rather accessible to the Nubian, it simply isn't as well written as one would expect from such a reputable series. The grammer is at times careless. While each chapter fleshes out the core lesson with plenty of relevant asides, it's credibility is undermined by typos and inconsistencies in it's presentational appearance from chapter to chapter. I give this book three stars because, outside of a classroom, I believe I could have begun to learn functional HTML from it. But the errors in it are enough to bring some confusion and distrust in the text. Oddly, the copyright is the year 2000. Perhaps this is what we have to fear from the Y2K bug.
