Summary: Overall good value - great reference section....
Comment: I don't like to use a wysiwyg application so this book has been very helpful in that it presents it in a hand coded example. Perfect for what I wanted. Sometimes the format seemed to jump around a bit but overall good examples. I wish it was a little more in depth in explanation or examples. I especially loved the quick reference sections at the back of the book as to reminders of tag usage and color codes. Maybe in a future edition tear out quick reference cards could be included. I recommend this book if you are looking for quick refernce for web page creationHTML, XHTML, and CSS, Sixth Edition (Visual Quickstart Guide)

Summary: Disappointing :-(
Comment: The approach of this book is disappointing. It begins with mostly HTML. While this is useful to a point, it seems kind of a waste of time -- since most people's primary goal is to learn XHTML. There was also too much emphasis on discussing deprecated tags. The focus on coding disappointed and disengaged me as a reader. I would prefer more focus on design. I do not recomend this book.
