HTML Mastery by Paul Haine was definitely not your average HTML for Dummies type book. Paul did a great job of covering HTML thoroughly and ended on a note that inspired you to think beyond the basics.

Even an advanced developer would benefit from reading this book in it’s entirety (about 215 pages).
There is much to be said about the content that is packed into those 215 pages, so I will give a brief rundown:

...Pro CSS Techniques by Jeff Croft, Dan Rubin, and Ian Lloyd is a very thorough book on practical CSS. Having just read Simon Collison’s Beginning CSS Web Development I found this to be a great continuation of the learning process. This book picks up where Simon’s book ended, and even briefly covers some of the same topics. This book is full of great information and each author had a fun personality (and sense of humor) with their chapters.
