Summary: The Only HTML Book You'll Ever Need
Comment: Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML does a wonderful job of teaching you all you need to know to produce excellent web site pages. The presentation is excellent, combining appropriate humor, quiz, and hands-on practice. I have never went through 658 pages of instructional material as easily as I did this book, nor have I ever retained so much knowledge from a first read. I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to ENJOY learning HTML.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This is the first computer book I've read that actually starts from the beginning and explains *everything* about HTML that I ever wondered about! Most books expect some prior knowledge and leave a lot of information out, but this book really goes into a lot of detail explaining *why* things are the way they are, as well as *how* to do it correctly.
It's also written in an engaging, lighthearted manner that made me want to continue to figure out what I was doing, even when things got difficult. There are a lot of photos, quizzes and puzzles and stuff like that to keep you interested. I know that sounds cheesy but the way they present it really works. I am so glad I bought it and I hope they come out with a lot more books like this one.

Summary: Clear and pedagogical
Comment: For a beginner's book to HTML and CSS, this book fullfilled its aim wonderfully, in unpretentious and pedagogical way. This book is for intelligent readers with inquisitive mind, remember "Head First" motto.
Normally, I loath books that are loaded with technical jargons with no or failed attempts to simplify or clarify.
But this one surprised me: what a teaching book should be. As I read, I felt as if I have been transported and enrolled in a real class with students debated over the finer points of XHTML and CSS. The book is engaging and fun.
I was able to read through it without using a browser or touching the keyboard in 2 weeks on and off.
Hats off to the authors. It's a work of passion.
