If you have the spare change to buy it, the very best book I've ever found for html is the one by O'Reilly Publishing. Dont remember the exact name of it, but has a drawing of a koala on the front cover.
There's a few different editions, with the latest including a section on xml. The version I have is an older one, so dunno if the newer edition is as good (but would reckon it is). Very well laid out, things that belong together are put together, etc.
So many html books are just all over the place instead of starting with basics and building on them. (ie: might start with tables, and then tell you about tags like <br> and <b> and then jump to bullets, and then how to do italics. And so many of them dont have an easy to use reference. O'Reilly even came with a handy, tear-out, reference sheet (dunno if new edition has that or not)
So, like I said, O'Reilly book is best html book i've ever bought; my copy is very dog-eared from so much use.
