Title: Good guide for the HTML novice.
Product review: I have read the criticism's of the book and must disagree. One must keep in mind the target audience of the author, that being the beginning HTML coder. Given this understanding Lemay offers a good intro to HTML, including HTML 4.0 at the level in which she has intended to communicate to the reader. Lemay also discusses some of the common pitfalls the novice is likely to fall into with guidance as to how to avoid them. Her samples and illustrations are clear and the book is reasonably structured. If one is looking for a complete reference manual this isn't it and I do not believe that was Lemay's objective. For the intended audience, and the price, the book is a good investment.
