A Very Useful Intro to HTML
This book is a great intro to learning html and other web concepts. The book is comprehensive of the basic aspects of html, and the examples are easy to learn, leading you towards learning more complicated uses. In particular, the section on forms is more complete, yet understandable than many other sources I've read, including the "Dreamweaver Bible."
One concept the author stresses--that's been indispensible to me--is the importance of learning proper html syntax. This has reduced my depency on web-authoring software, which I view as essential to mastering web design. I'll only design as well as I understand the technology, and for me to visualize the possibilities of html, I must first understand it's capabilities and limitiations. This book has given me a boost towards that goal. I'd also recommend Ann Navarro's class in html at hwg.org. That class was a great way to get started.
You must get this book!
Ann runs an online class using this book at the HTML Writer's Guild site. I found the book to be highly informative and I especially appreciate the cross-browser compatibility info. Buy the book and take the class!
A great source for learning the essentials...
Ann covers the "how-tos" as well as the "whys". I found this book very helpful in learning how to write clean code. Ann's style provides clear and easy to understand instruction. I highly recommend this one!
Pretty good for basics and terminology. 
I have only read the first seven chapters (skills) in this book and found it to be pretty good. It's not a colour book, but does have a CD with the sample code on it. In some places I found typos. This is not a complete reference, some important things (I think) are missed out, like being able to put an * in place of a measurement for width tags. Overall though it gives you a good idea of how to write in HTML 4.0.
Valuable introduction and explanation of WEB components.
I needed to learn about web terminology and technology. This is the first book I have purchased on the subject (and read). I found it very helpful, containing broad topics and well organized. (I also found typos and some mistakes.) I did like the book and have recommended it to others at work. The topics covered can be of interest to anyone interested in learning about WEB publishing.
