Title: Great value - admirable depth and breadth
Review: This is incredible value because of its price and because of its coverage - it has admirable depth and breadth. It's probably the only HTML book you need to give you good foundation knowledge. It then gives you a basic overview of what you need to learn in the future to become an advanced web site creator (like Javascript, CGI, and Perl). At times I found some concepts difficult to understand, and had to go to another source for an alternative explanation, but that was seldom and probably to be expected from time-to-time given the subject matter. Sometimes re-reading an earlier chapter was enough to clear up any confusion. I was very impressed (and surprised) to discover some topics, like web page design, were covered just as well in "HTML Complete" as more specialised books.
