Review:

This was a great book. If you haven't been doing web design long, or if you have but don't read much in the area of improving your markup practices, you will learn quite a bit. If you have, you will probably still learn a number of nice tricks. This will be a useful book for many web developers.

Other than the nice techniques explained in the book, it has a few things going for it. First, I like how he put a chapter at the end that brought all of the tips together into a nice, succinct little project. Helpful for pulling it all together and for review.

Second, the print job was really well done. The paper is of good quality and that it was printed in color is a big bonus. Black-and-white would not have worked out well for this book.
