Great Primer for the beginner!
I liked it because it keeps the approach to webpage design simple and to the point. This is a great book for someone who wants to get their feet wet in the world of HTML. You can get a basic webpage up and running in no time. You won't get all the questions answered from this book, but you'll get the most important ones answered.

The book is great in that it discusses the different types of layouts and tools to use with webpages (i. e. frames, tables, style sheets). However, I was a little disappointed not to see a quick reference card for HTML Tags. Other than that, this book is a great tool that I still use as a reference when I want to find something quickly.

Essential - More information than 400 page rivals
. Short and Sweet - not artistic (you apple kids like Killer Sites and that's.. OK!)

I'd like to see another 30% chopped and include the TCP/IP protocols and history. Whose got time for the fluff?.

Good for brushing up on the new standard
After reading this book I am back to handcoding HTML with confidence and with great visible improvement over the WYSIWYG stuff. It has been a while since I first learned HTML and had relied on WYSIWYG Editors (NetObjects Fusion, FrontPage) for the past year. Could be a little more exstensive but what do you expect in 10 minutes?.
