Summary: Thank God for an HTML book that comes to the point!
Review: I'm not a techno-wonk, but the Dummies book on HTML drove me nuts with all its cutesy explanation, and frankly I couldn't figure out what it was talking about. This book shows the tags, shows all your choices with each tag, period. Buy this book, read some source code on other people's sites to see what they did, and you're set.

Summary: Must Have Pocket Reference
Review: If you are designing web pages, you must have this book. That is all there is to it. This is a small compact reference book (hence the title) which lists the HTML tags in alphabetical order, shows if they are supported by the three major browsers (IE,NN,Opera) and if they are part of the w3c spec HTML 4.01. Information is given for the applicable attributes for each tag. Once you know it (especially if you follow w3c standards) HTML is a simple and easy language to use.. however, having a easy to use reference comes in handy quite frequently, especially when starting up a new site. This will not be the only reference you need.. no book can claim that. Though everybody who designs websites should have this book, those new to HTML may find it the most helpful most frequently. However, this book will NOT teach you HTML. It is a reference.. nothing more. as mentioned in other reviews.. the IMG tag is missing, which is a major flaw, but not major enough to take away from the greatness of this book. In short.. get it.

Summary: Where is the Quality?
Review: Not recommended! How can you create a web page without images? The <IMG> tag has been overlooked. There are other errors as well. This "reference" may have been a little too quick.

Summary: if you "know" HTML, this is all you need
Review: Since 1994 I've been writing HTML code occasionally for my collection of websites. Most of the time I don't need a guide, but sometimes I've forgotten some color codes or attributes of the tags. That's why I keep this pocket guide within reach - in those cases I find the answer within the minute. It's the only HTML book I need, having a lot of HTML experience, that is. If you have less HTML experience, you probably need to look elsewhere.

Summary: Dont Buy Just 1, Buy 2
Review: Thats exactely what I have done, I have bought two of these. One for work and one for home. This is a must have for any web developer. Unless your one of those people that can memorize every single HTML tag and all of its attributes I strongly suggest you purchase this book. Every HTML tag is listen in alphabetical order and every attribute listed following it. The only thing I could have asked for more would be a small example below the tags themselves. I have been writing HTML, ASP, JavaScript, and more for over 3 years now and I use this book almost every day. I refrence it to make sure all my attributes are cross browser compatible and that I have labeled them all correct. This is definately a must have and make sure to keep it close.

Summary: Fast and Easy
Review: The fast food for web developers, A MUST HAVE!! This is yet another indespensible book in the Pocket Reference series. As with all of the other Pocket books this is best for people who have basic knowledge with subject matter (in this case HTML). However, if you are not familiar with the subject matter, the publisher of this series puts out the Definative Guide series as well which works hand in hand with the Pocket sized version. I have the HTML, XML, JavaScript and CSS pocket references, which always sit close by when I'm at work.

Summary: Concise but not Accurate
Review: The sample code for client-side image maps contains the following text: USEMAP="map1" However, this code does not produce any effect, and IE gives no hint as to why it does not work. After about an hour of frustration, I finally noticed in another HTML book that the code should have been: USEMAP="#map1" It would have been faster to look in a less concise book.
