Summary: great for beginner
Review: This book is the first book i get for HTML. It's really good for beginner. It assumes you don't think any single thing on producing a web page and guides you step by step to what you need to know.

Another good feature of this book is that it also mentions what else you need to produce a more professional looking web pages. The authors teaches you basic graphic skill in Paint Pro Shop and even some animations in Animation shop.

It also has very good chapters on forms, tables, and imagemap. But the StyleSheet chapter is weaker.
Overall, at the price, you can get not only HTML, but also Graphic tutorial. This book is really worth to buy. If you are new to web, this is the book for you.

Summary: The best all in one introduction to web design available
Review: You may start as the absolute beginner, learn HTML, and prepare your own web site by writing your own HTML code with the help of this book. You only need a plain text editing program, which comes with every PC operating system as the standard supply. You may do the same by utilising the HTML generating graphical softwares. This book will help you to prepare your web pages without investing for the web page creating software and/or you will learn HTML in order to have control over the HTML code generated by those softwares. Anything further than that is beyond this book and you need to look for other books with more technical coverage.
