The Internet is awash with great Web design books these days. The one I’ve become aware of most recently is HTML Mastery - Semantics, Standards and Styling by Paul Haine, the follow up to CSS Mastery.
it’s aimed at web designers and developers who have already mastered the basics of HTML and web design, but want to take their markup further, making it leaner and more semantically rich, for a more efficient, more usable/accessible web site.
Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cedarholm
Cedarholm’s book Web Standards Solutions has become a primer text of sorts in our office for anyone who does Web design. This one is just as excellent.
