Amazon.com Books:
A very thoughtful and practical guide to building what Siegel refers to as 3rd Generation Web sites: sites driven by design deployed to provide visitors a complete "experience" employing real-world metaphors and models of consumer psychology. Siegel provides especially good information about page layout and handling text and type faces.
I recommend this book heartily, and suggest that serious Web designers also get copies of Creating Great Web Graphics and The Visual Display of Quantitative Information for a very useful library of techniques and ideas.

The New York Times Book Review, Rick Prelinger:
Michael L. Dertouzos' new book refreshingly attempts a return to basics, eschewing hype and spectacle. He envisions the emerging world of information as a "21st-century village marketplace where people and computers buy, sell and freely exchange information and information services." . . . Mr. Dertouzos winces at the kind of sweeping predictions we expect from latter-day futurists. He asserts that the information marketplace "will be just another manifestation of ancient humans expending their ancient human lives in search of ancient human goals through new human tools and artifacts." There are highly readable explanations of "bodynets," virtual reality and electronic commerce. His utopia is a plausible, neighborly place, not so far from where we are now; that is the great prognostic value of his book.

Every serious Web master and Web designer should have the most current edition of the
HTML Sourcebook on his or her desk. This book manages to touch on nearly every aspect of
Web site design and maintenance, all in a single volume. The bulk of this book is devoted to HTML 3.2,
including proprietary extensions. Each tag has a full explanation, including an example of how it is used
and how it interacts with other tags. The authors make sure to point out cases where Netscape and
Microsoft implementations differ, as well as cases where browsers have bugs that affect the rendering
of specific tags. A fair amount of attention is given to advanced topics such as cascading style sheets,
scripting, and internationalization.
Aspects of the Web that most people take for granted are covered here in great detail.
There are whole chapters discussing Multipart Internet Mail Extensions (MIME),
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), and the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP). These topics may seem arcane, but knowledge of them is essential for Web masters
.
The book's technical content is balanced with useful chapters covering concepts of site design
and construction, graphics and images, and Web site management. If you're creating a large scale Web site,
you'll find advice on planning, designing, testing, and even promoting your site. Although written clearly
and concisely, the HTML Sourcebook is not really a book for beginners--there is much more information here
than a person creating Web pages for fun will ever need to know
