Review title: This book puts the "AWE" in AWFUL!
Product review: After reviewing the contents of this book, I found that it is very much misnamed. HTML 4.0 Sourcebook should definitely not be called a "sourcebook" because it is lacking in any valuable "sources." Having purchased it as a reference guide, I found that it touched on the needs of a Web developer, at best, on a limited basis. Other features lacking in this book: There is no quick reference section (as is often found in most HTML books), it is lacking in any substantial structure, and the layout is lacking in any type of usability. The book reads as if written by a professor desperately needing to get published. I recommend ANY other HTML book over this one.
