It's the absolute bees knees :) ditto, very good book, my copy is making the rounds at work, everybody is very positive. It has not made it into the hands of the one and only tables lives guy yet. also: "Web Design on a Shoestring" by Carrie Bickner, or how to rebuild the NY Public Library websites, with two people and no budget. > > CSS "More Eric Meyer on CSS" learnt more CSS reading this than anything in the past few months and Kay next time I go to a Port-80 meeting I bring it along. Usability "Defensive Design for the Web" as Andy says contingency design is not sexy, but this is a very readable book on the subject. (When "More Eric Meyer on CSS" getting heavy going on the bus on the way home I switch to this).

Re: [WSG] Recommended Books
Hi all To not lose these examples in a thread somewhere I have set up a resource category on the website. As with code editors, please put your recommended books up on the site in the category "Offline resources (books, magazines etc)" We can then refer back to this listing if the topic comes up again. All members can login and edit that resource category. First taxi off the rank is Andy Budd's book listing at http://webstandardsgroup.org/resources/#cat31 - Andy, feel free to update the listing.
