A very useful book

This is an excellent book. It actually does more than the title suggests: it is a good introduction to HTML for anyone new to it, as well as serving as a reference. Most of the "Dummies" books are somewhat limited, some of them poor. HTML for Dummies 4 is very poor: it is full of waffle and weak attempts at humour, and you have to plough through quite a lot of useless material to find the small amount of useful information it contains. HTML for Dummies 4 Quick Reference is a different matter altogether. In a small fraction of the amount of text that HTML for Dummies takes up, it contains far more information, and that information is also more clearly expressed. HTML for Dummies 4 Quick Reference was actually the first book on HTML I read. Since reading it I have read several more books on HTML, and I have not found another one that I regard as equalling it in value. I heartily reccomend it, both as an introduction for anyone new to HTML and as a reference for those who already know something of HTML. It does not cover everything by any means, but it covers a surprisingly large amount in such a small space, and what it does cover it covers very well.

Does exactly what it says on the cover.
This is not a comprehensive book on HTML, but as the title suggests, it is for reference purposes. I like to try stuff out myself, then refer to this book if I get stuck. In this respect it's invaluable.

An absolute waste of time
As are most of the books in this series. If you need to understand HTML get one By WROX, O'rielly , Que etc you get what you pay for. You cant build web pages effectively with this sort of resource. HTML is a simple and straight forward language, it only gets complicated the further you go in. (by then you will be fascinated by it) If you can type you can do it. Have faith in your own ability and get a more effective book. By the way I gave it one star because you cant give any less.

The HTML Rosetta Stone
This was the best $15.00 (marked down to $11.00 -- you save $3.99!) I ever spent. This book breaks down HTML in logical, no-nonsense fashion. I was able to go from never writing anything to working full-time as a web page designer in about a year (thanks in part to using Photoshop, as well). Re-invent yourself, while there's still time!

WOW!
This is a terrible book! It gives a lot a stuff but none of it works! If you like cats, you'll like this book. It's more about the stupid cats than the HTML.
