Product DescriptionSams Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML & XHTML in 21 Days, Third Edition is a new edition of the best-selling Laura Lemay book that started the whole HTML/Web publishing phenomenon.

Rating: - good book, bad service
The book itself is well written, and I'm learning a lot from it.
