Hello,

Are you a visual learner who wants to create web pages? Perhaps you're a
graphic designer who would like to move beyond Photoshop comps and roll
your own, but haven't found material that's approachable. Request a
copy of Head
First HTML and CSS, 2nd
Edition<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z05pjlkn4moh6qtupiruvu9rq7ug8hvrvtnona0o>.
It's a brain-friendly guide chocked full of visual cues and humor that
livens things up and engages the reader.

--Marsee Henon & Jon Johns
