Worth Your Money (0/0 people found this helpful)
I'll keep this short - this is a highly recommended book on building a web site. I am completely new to this and was a bit worried about how complex it might be but this book is a bit of a God send to be honest.
The great thing about this book is not just how step-by-step it is, but that you are actually building a mock web site as you go through the book.
This was key for me as the other book I have goes into more detail on XHTML and CSS but it only uses specific, individual examples of code, not how to incorporate the ideas into a real web site. This is the winning touch.
You can also download coded examples of every single stage of the development from the sitepoint website, including all the images used in building the mock site.
There are some typos in the book, but there is an errata on the sitepoint website that corrects the mistakes. It's such a good book, I think we can forgive Mr Lloyd these minor lapses!

Excellent book. Refreshing to see an embrace of web standards using xhtml and css. Also includes references for further reading and a very handy appendix at the back for the odd bit of code you might have forgotten about.
What an excellent introduction to xhtml and css (2/2 people found this helpful)
Well after reading the excellent reviews on here for this book and browsing through the sitepoint.com website itself with the huge forum. I finaly decided to order it from amazon.co.uk. I ordered it on Monday at 06.20am. It arrived the next morning. (Excellent service) It's only taken me until today (Friday) to complete the book and the website that you get guided through to completion on. What a great book. I feel as though i've learnt loads in just 4 days ! I've just this morning received my next book "CSS - The missing manual".
Highly recommend this book
The only book to begin learning HTML and CSS (4/4 people found this helpful)
This book is great for somebody completely new to HTML and CSS. It will take you through building a site painlessly. I can tell you that what you'll be learning is fully W3C compliant coding (as it should be) so you don't have to worry about this book being out of date or simply wrong.
Pick up the free sample chapter on sitepoint.com if you don't believe me.

If there is one book I would recommend to anyone with an interest in creating a website then this would be it. The book is an excellent introduction to not only XHTML and CSS but also the main features that make up a website. In a light-hearted, easy-to-read way, it covers topics such as use of graphics, form creation, website hosting options and even blogging. And if that's not enough, it ends by giving you pointers on what you could go on to learn. Most importantly for a beginners guide to web design, it gives an excellent grounding in creating websites using web standards ... no table based design here ...
