The authors were able to clearly express themselves such that it was quite an easy read for a non-programmer. However, "Advanced Html Companion 2nd edition" requires a serious rewrite due to its numerous and obvious mistypes. The cover of this book is indeed appealing but the content of it is just an OVERVIEW of several web markup languages. If you require just an overview of the subject, this book is for you. If you want a reasonable grasp of Html or other markup languages, please find another book; I wish I could trade mine for another.

One of the worst proofreading jobs now in print seriously diminishes what otherwise might have been a useful reference.

Though I did find the book a bit pricy, it was more important to me to have it as a reference manual in my library. As a designer focusing on UI and architecture, I find it necessary to know, understand, and be able to use HTML. It's horrible when designers put together fantastic designs that developers have to later alter, because the code would have to jump through too many hoops to make it work.

It is worth the buy if you need a reference manual and can't wait for responses from email mailing lists or your developer friend who's out to lunch.

I was impressed with the scope and detail of this volume. Very useful

GREAT
