Title: A Mediocre reference. Beginners Beware!
Product review: I was a beginner when I bought this book and figured I could get pretty much what I needed from a "bible." In fact, I found this book to be poorly organized, full of omissions and very confusing to follow. The authors are so excited about CSS that they give HTML short shrift... not good for a book on HTML. I also encountered a lot of fluff on usability that could have been left out, but I suppose bibles are supposed to be thick to justify the price. The chapter on tables totally omits any reference to page layout with tables, something I find really unbelievable. I guess the authors think that CSS makes layout with tables a thing of the past. As a reference I guess this book is okay but it suffers from poor organization. Frankly, I was upset that I spent this much money on such a marginal book.
