Web Standards are a bit iffy as standards to one person can be different to another. In addition, with the different browsers and their incompatibilities its a tough subject to handle. This book does a great job at showing you good practices for you to write cleaner code and explaining the reasoning behind it.

The examples shown are core to every website from clean lists used for navigation to techniques on text replacement. Also explanations of when and what to use tables for as well as avoiding the over excess usage of just throwing in "" all over the place.

Much of the skills and techniques can be found on the web but to have all in one book makes it a ease for reference and to go back to. In addition, the explanations are clear and easy to follow. If you have a bit of knowledge of HTML and CSS already, this will be a good book to further advance those skills in a proper, best practices way.
