Rating:  - GREAT resource!!
I am relatively new to coding and this book was just what I needed to get going!! Several of the topics are somewhat beyond me at this time, so I think it would be helpful to non-beginners too! Well written, easy to understand with great examples!
Rating:  - A Great Reference
You will use this book as a constant reference. The Appendices alone are worth the purchase price, making Elizabeth Castro's straight-forward, practical lessons complete bonus. A great book for coding upstarts as well as seasoned pros looking for a day-to-day reference.
Rating: - Great for any level
This is an excellent, step by step guide for anyone learning HTML! I use it all the time, great index and easy to follow language. Highly recommend.
Rating: - Great book for HTML and CSS beginner
I have been a fan of peachpit press for years, and this book has a lot going for it. As a beginner, I was quickly able to establish a foundation that I am building on. I strongly recommend this book to anyone BEFORE they buy a Dreamweaver book. In other words, get comfortable with handcoding html and css before you even think about dreamweaver. There are also excellent sections on organizing a website, attracting visitors, etc.
WARNING: The binding has fallen apart on my book making it a hassle to use. This is an issue that is evidently common with peachpit books. I am in touch with the publisher to get another, and hopefully they will come through.

I'm sure that Ms. Castro had the best of intentions when she wrote this book, however, she apparently wrote it from the point of view of a person already experienced in HTML and XHTML and CSS. I get the sense that some of the important instructions have been left out.
