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.
Rating: - The way web design should be taught.
Ok... this book is the last thing I would've bought if I had just browsed around the web (that's the I-already-know-everything talking).
My roomate bought it and the second I started turning the pages I actually told my students to get a copy for class. I got one for myself and even though I have 8 flaming years of experience in web design (note the sarcasm please) I really found every single bit of information extremely valuable.
Elizabeth restructured the way I work in the web and the I-already-know-everything guy recieved his lesson as in the old days.
Simply get a copy. I can't say much more.
Rating: - Easy to Understand
Its really excellent book on HTML, XML. People who dont know any thing about the HTML can easyly understand it. Elizabeth Castro explain everthing very deeply in that book. We can recognize this book as perfect book for students.
