As promised, here's the list of books I've found invaluable in learning to craft better HTML and CSS, in the order I recommend reading them:

• Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm
• Web Standards Solutions by Dan Cederholm
• CSS Mastery by Andy Budd et al.
• Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman
• Eric Meyer on CSS by Eric Meyer

I'm a big fan of Dan Cederholm's simple, effective, standards-based, and gorgeous work. He's a gifted writer to boot. You're well advised to read anything he writes.

For reference, I use:

• Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer
• HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide by Chuck Musciano, Bill Kennedy

I'm also looking forward to feasting my eyes on a copy of Transcending CSS. It looks stunning.

Hope that helps!
