There are many errors in the book chapters, examples and tests. The book comes with a download from the website that is used for exercises in the book. Apparently there must have been more than one set of examples or someone other than the author set them up. There are some mismatches in what the book says and what the downloads actually look like. I found the errors to be a challenge to correct, so I really didn't mind that so much. The other chapter text and test errors are numerous and too many to mention. The books website offers an errata that covers many of them. If you do buy this book, be prepared to encounter many of these errors.

Finally, I have had to return the book twice now for poor binding. I am a very careful reader and do not bend back pages, etc. The bookstore promptly exchanged the book, but it appeared the new book might have the same defect. And...today after experiencing the same defect, I have called again to have the book replaced. Having the problem the first time, I was extremely careful in how I handled the book. A large piece of the book is about to fall out of the binding. However, I consider the book highly informative and hope that its replacement will have a better binding.

If you are new to XHTML & CSS, and have a little HTML knowledge, this book is perfect for you. (Provided you can put up with the minor inconveniences.)
