This is a great introduction to the basics of HTML, XHTML, and CSS for beginners as well as those of us who are still using <font> tags. It does a great job of introducing (X)HTML and CSS in a way you won't forget in a hurry. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn Web development and doesn't know where to start.
By the way, I have always believed in a two-book approach to learning most things: a tutorial or guide to introduce you to the basics, and a reference manual for when you're competent enough that you don't need a walkthrough any more. This book is definitely in the first category, and I wouldn't recommend it as a reference manual or to someone who already knows substantial XHTML and CSS.
