Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book. It actually does more than the title suggests: it is a good introduction to HTML for anyone new to it, as well as serving as a reference. Most of the "Dummies" books are somewhat limited, some of them poor. HTML for Dummies 4 is very poor: it is full of waffle and weak attempts at humour, and you have to plough through quite a lot of useless material to find the small amount of useful information it contains. HTML for Dummies 4 Quick Reference is a different matter altogether. In a small fraction of the amount of text that HTML for Dummies takes up, it contains far more information, and that information is also more clearly expressed. HTML for Dummies 4 Quick Reference was actually the first book on HTML I read. Since reading it I have read several more books on HTML, and I have not found another one that I regard as equalling it in value. I heartily reccomend it, both as an introduction for anyone new to HTML and as a reference for those who already know something of HTML. It does not cover everything by any means, but it covers a surprisingly large amount in such a small space, and what it does cover it covers very well.

This was the best $15.00 (marked down to $11.00 -- you save $3.99!) I ever spent. This book breaks down HTML in logical, no-nonsense fashion. I was able to go from never writing anything to working full-time as a web page designer in about a year (thanks in part to using Photoshop, as well). Re-invent yourself, while there's still time!

This book is great for beginners and as a quick reference for those tags you just cant remember. It has a very handy reference section in the back, and the book itself it very well organized, as is the back. It covers everything up to style sheets, and I think there is a MORE HTML 4.0 for Dummies Quick Reference which I also plan to get. This book is good overall, but it does not have all of the HTML tag attributes, which I have had to find online. Good book overall!

This does what it says on the tin "A quick reference". If you want to learn from scratch then I suggest "HTML and CSS in 24 Hours" by Dick Oliver and Michael Morrison. Read more

Does exactly what it says on the cover.
This is not a comprehensive book on HTML, but as the title suggests, it is for reference purposes. I like to try stuff out myself, then refer to this book if I get stuck. Read more

An absolute waste of time
As are most of the books in this series. If you need to understand HTML get one By WROX, O'rielly , Que etc you get what you pay for. Read more

WOW!
This is a terrible book! It gives a lot a stuff but none of it works! If you like cats, you'll like this book. It's more about the stupid cats than the HTML.

Great reference! Gets to the point.
This is really a good deal. This is the pick if you don't want to buy the more expensive dummies book.

Very good reference book for beginners.
I use this book all the time. The spiral edition was a great idea, it allows me to lay it flat so I can read and work at the same time. Read more

Where HTML for Dummies went wrong, the quick refference picks up the slack. I've read HTML for Dummies and found it an almost useless tool. Read more
