This review is from: Schaum's Outline of HTML (Paperback)

This is one of my personal favorite HTML books. It's style is really technical, so many people will hate it. For them, I would recommend a more visual book, such as <i>HTML in an Instant</i>, or <i>Teach Yourself Visually HTML</i>. Those two help you get started quickly, without getting bogged down in excessive details. But for those who like a more systematic approach, going through the individual properties of each tag, this book is for you. It has extensive code snippets, details about usage, and a very clear format. It is somewhat dry reading, but the information is really packed in there if you are willing to dig it out. Very nice.
