highly recommended

I've been struggling through several books -- this is the one you want

I hate cutesy books with lots of graphic distractions and interruptions (are you listening, Wired?); and those who are poisonously cynical might consider this book a little cute, but it is amiable, readable, linear, and above all, it actually tells you what to do. After many months of trying to figure out other people's books, this one actually put me on the air, and I am honestly grateful for it.

If you can't do a site with this book you can't do sites -- which is okay, whatever your talent is, find your niche and do great things!

Excellent Beginner's Tutorial

This book serves its purpose ably, showing the virtual beginner how to build web pages. The author keeps the reader interested with a subtle mix of humor and useful tips. The example web site contains many of the elements a beginning web developer needs to produce an aesthetic site built on sound principles.

While the author does some hand holding through the process it's by no means a dummied down book. By the time you finish the book you will find yourself able to create a nice 10-page web site.

Great Buy

This book is by far the best html/css book i've ever read I could only be happier if it built the pages itself.

Helpful for "intermediate" web designers too

I've done about 10 web sites in the last 3-4 years and have been using CSS for a couple of years. I'm by no means an expert but I do know a little something. This book clarified some things that were a little murky. There were several times as I was reading this that I thought, "Oh, now I get it". I got it out of the library but I now plan to buy a copy. This book along with Rachel Andrew's "The CSS Anthology" make a nice pair.

Excellent tool to start learning how to build websites the proper way

I have been trying to build websites for a while with WYSIWYG packages, but was always disappointed with what you are able to do with these packages. So I bit the bullet and decided to learn HTML and CSS myself, in order to have full control over the design of the website.
This book by Ian Lloyd is an excellent beginners guideline in how to build websites the proper way. He helps you build a website from scratch and in building this site you learn the fundamentals of website building with HTML and CSS. Even as a programmers language layman, I found this book refreshingly easy to go through. After going through the book I felt comfortable to start building my first website. With the knowledge gained from the book you can do so, and if you need something extra, the Internet is providing more then enough how-to's to do that.
So if you want to make the jump from a package doing the work for you to actually do it all yourself, this is an excellent place to start.
