Title: Don't Buy This Book!
Review: Buy ANOTHER book--any other book--on HTML. Having known a little HTML already, I was looking for a comprehensive book that could teach me about the advanced aspects of the language. Unfortunately, I ended up wasting money on this millstone instead. The book's technique--if it can be called that--is to bore the reader with arcane aspects of a topic and then forget to say how it is applied in an HTML document in the real world. Most of this unwieldy tome reads like a verbose editorial on HTML rather than a book designed to teach a person HTML. (And the authors exhibit an almost ideological contempt for "cool" websites.) "HTML 4 Unleashed" is a 1,000 page waste of the human spirit. If this were the only book in the world on HTML, it might be worth having. But it isn't. Buy another book.
