Sams Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML and CSS in One Hour a Day, Sixth Edition is the latest edition of the original worldwide bestseller. The entire book has been thoroughly revised and refined to include new detailed coverage of HTML5, the next major revision of the core language of the World Wide Web, HTML. Work on the HTML5 specification is still ongoing, but parts of HTML5 are already being implemented in new versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera.

I'm sorry. This isn't a bad book. It's actually a good resource. It's just that I've read several similar books, and while this one is comprehensive, it's also mind numbingly dull and I can't bring myself to get through it and finish it. I dread opening it and reading it. And that's just a waste of time and money. Others might find it very helpful though, so I speak only for myself. Not recommended, as I think there are numerous other books out there on the same topics that are better.

A good, comprehensive guide for beginner level CSS and HTML. the HTML sections are very basic and really anybody could understand them. The CSS sections are a bit outdated in my opinion because they are teaching CSS using internal stylesheets rather than linking to external sheets, but nonetheless it's a great beginners book to learn how to use CSS.
