Many thanks to all those whose e-mails appear here, and to the many more who've written but are not yet included here. Formatting and sorting the mail is a monumental task (and gives me a swelled head...) but I'll be working on this page periodically, especially when my spirits are low. If you are very anxious to see your comments here, send me mail to remind me.

Thank you for writing HTML for the WWW VQG (1996). My wife and I really
like the style you write with. We searched for other books but bought your
book finally because it had everything we needed and explained things
quickly and easily.
I look forward to buying a new version of your book that will include
examples of everything in HTML 4, including style sheets and such.

Well, just let me tell you how much I enjoyed your little book, 2nd
edition.
A rank newcomer to HTML, I found it both comprehensible and -- rare for computer books -- an enjoyable read. It is well organized, clear, concise. The layouts and sample frames are very useful, if a tad too small.
I will be doing a web site for a 250+ member association of baseball umpires in Northern Virginia, and although I've surfed the net for almost four years, have never had occasion to write any HTML.
I had tried MS Front Page, but realized that I did not understand the underlying code, thus could not get precisely what I want. I spent an obscene amount of money on a high performance system with a gorgeous 21" monitor at 1240x1024, only to find that my snappy creations were not very readable on the average browser. So I decided to jump in where the rubber meets the road with a text editor. (I had the same experience when I was limited by Basic ten years ago, and jumped into machine language.) So far, so good; but I have a nasty tendency to overreach, and now find myself putting tables in frames and nesting tables -- ouch, brain pain. And, of course, I expect to master CGI scripting in a few hours also.
What the book really did for me was to make the source code of good pages understandable, thanks to a pretty decent index.
Bravo for eschewing the pc gender-scrubbing, and for reducing the use of the second person. I know that some training expert said it made people more comfortable to use the hand-holding "you" and "your", but frankly I am sick of it.
Nice job.

I am a big fan of your Peachpit guide on HTML. I found it very easy to
follow and a great help to build my web site. I've recommended it
to two of my brothers but they don't speak English. I wonder if you
have a Spanish version for it.
I've seen all the examples related to las Ramblas, Gaudi's houses, an
Visca el Barca and I figured that maybe you speak Spanish. (I am from Galicia)
Please let me know.
Thanks, and congratulations for the guide. It's really good.

I'd like to thank you for putting out such a great reference book (HTML for the World Wide Web: 2ed). I'm only 17 years old, but am deeply fascinated by the web, HTML, and computers in general. Me and my friends have been computer junkies since the Commodore 64's and I can't wait till I get the chance to pursue a career in computer technology when I get into college next year. I have a question though... exactly what should I pursue as a career if I'm intrested in the web OR software engineering. I love computer games (i.e. Quake 1 and 2) and would love to do something like that, but also LOVE the Internet. Any advice etc... would be helpful.....
Thanks alot!!!! wildfirez98@yahoo.com :)

I bought your book and wanted to tell you that I liked it very much. I chose it over other books because of it's simplicity. The others I looked at seemed to be so much larger mainly because they spend so much time going into too much detail or off on tangents that end up confusing the mainstream users. Your's was simple, straight to the point and made learing HTML very easy. Now all my friends want me to do their web pages.

I can't compliment you enough for your lucid explanation of the basic HTML
concepts. I had just decided to market some stories through my server and
found that I was driving blind. As it turned out, my wife and I were
heading to Nassau for a week so I took your book with me. Read it twice,
took notes and came home a reasonably competent programmer. I've a long way
to go but your jump start was invaluable.

As the student I must also reply. Your book is great. As a pilot and

If you are dealing with computers and have read the manual you are always

every page with my red pen.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge.

your book.

Today I purchased HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro. After
looking over countless number of choices at my local Barnes & Noble
store, I selected this version because of the ease of instruction and
the numerous graphics. The fact that it was considerably less expensive
than other books on the same topic did have a bearing.
Just wanted to send a note thanking you for this publication.

Congratulations! You have achieved what so many purport to achieve. With
no instruction in HTML, simply by using your text book we, as students,
have been able to create web pages that meet the demands of our
Client/Server WWW assignment.
As a final semester, (mature) computer programming student, I have used many text books, including several "for Dummies" or "Teach yourself in 21 days" books. None of these texts truly enabled me to achieve what I wanted to achieve without assistance from others. With your book "HTML for the World Wide Web" everything is self explanatory and easily replicated. This book is truly exceptional.
Please send me information regarding any other instructional books you have written or are planning to write.
Yours sincerely,
Gaile Dale

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! And thanks for responding

do someone a favor.

computer book I have ever used. I sat in Barns & Noble for some time
comparing a dozen or so such books. The format you use, with bite-size
lessons and red-letter screen shots near the binding, makes HTML easy
and exciting to learn. Thanks, and keep 'em coming.

Today I bought the Dutch edition of your book 'HTML for the World

(also because you used a mac). I learnt everything I know about HTML
from the net, never read a book about it. Untill I found your
book...
I will be doing some workshops with graphic design students later this year and I think I will tell them to buy and read your book first.

Your book was _so much_ better than 98% of the other HTML books I looked through (and
I looked through _a lot_)--not only in terms of content, organization,
clarity, etc, but also in terms of making it seem possible, even _fun_, to
code a page!

Hi, I'm new at html, and needed a good, quick, informative book... easy to
read, good examples, and affordable!
I compared your book to about 3-4 others... and, I bought yours!
After reading your book for a day or so, I noticed something else...
MOST of the examples in your book were done on a Macintosh, if Im correct?
NO wonder I like that book! :-D
Really though, the way the info was laid out made it easy to understand and find what I wanted! It made me WANT to read that book!
Thanks for making html easy to understand for a "non" programmer!

I just wanted to thank you for compiling such a great book on HTML.
Friday night I literally searched through what must have been 100 books
on the subject and yours was the ONLY one I found worth purchasing.
I wanted something comprehensive with good visual examples. So many
of the others look like textbooks describing C++, and others have many
glitzy photos of sample webpages with very little examples of source.
Also, the price of $17.95 was refreshing since most seemed to run from $25-50 !
Thanks again, and good luck with it...

Your book is awesome!! I messed around in HTML a couple years ago, back
when it was still 2.0 and I suddenly got a project at work that needed
tables, forms and all kinds of fun things. All my books were too outdated
so I ran over to the bookstore and I found your book.
It is GREAT! I love all the visuals in it, I am a very visual person and it is nice to see examples of what I should expect. Your explanations are clear and concise, and right to the point. It is like I sat down and said, "This is how I would like to be able to learn and reference HTML" and then you made the book to order.
Ok, so I am hyper, but you saved my day. I was dying going through texts that were far to simplistic or so complicated that I got a headache, and it is sooo cool to see a woman author for a change as well. I happen to think woman make far better technical writers then men, but then I guess I am prejudice being a woman and a technical writer. :)
Thanks again and please write more! I will buy them!

Hi, I just bought the HTML book that you wrote. It is so easy to understand
and I am already starting to create my home page.
Carole Lazar
This is a fan letter. I bought your book at Overwaitea Food Store in May.
Since then I have astonished my friends and acquaintances with the novel
things I have tried with respect to designing a web site. You make it so
EASY! When we bought the computer at the end of February my greatest
concern was that I had never held a mouse. You have made it so much fun.
My husband says we have created a monster but then I set up this page for
his stock portfolio management so now he thinks I am a hero.
There are so many people around who can do things themselves but inevitably leave out a vital step when they are trying to give instructions to others. You aren't one of those people. I may have to buy another copy of your book. The one I have is so dog eared.
Consider this a BIG thank you!

Your HTML book is a marvel of clarity and efficiency. Even though, I am using

do what I want. I can locate the subjects I want very quickly through the index
and get the gist through the one or two page approach you have adopted. You've
written a great great book.
I wanted to let you know that about a week ago when I first got the book I was able to log onto the Peachpit site and see the examples. However, when I tried that yesterday I got a server error. Did Pitchpit decide to stop making the examples available online?

I have been burning the midnight oil to find a good book for teaching my
"Creating Web Pages" class at a small community college (Sauk Valley
Community College in Dixon Illinois). After perusing the abundance of
literature "out there," I have decided to use your book. One of the great
selling features of your book is that it is explained simply, without too
much jargon that often scares "newbies." Also, the fact that you include
your website with examples and such allows me to offer my students a
hands-on multimedia environment that is bound to make my class more
interesting as well as instructive.
As an instructor of English (and Internet, obviously--in this electronic age, we have to be flexible), and having read many textbooks of many shapes and sizes, I am very pleased with the organization of the book. I wish you the most success. I will be ordering your books (12 of them--that is all the students this class can handle at a time) through a local bookstore. Again, Kudos!
I will make one suggestion, however: a directory of HTML tags with what they do (instead of the hex chart, or along side it). This way, if someone forgets what tag does what, they don't have to thumb through the book. [I took this great advice: both the second and current editions include a full HTML table --Liz]
Also, I wish to relate that even in this time of hypertext, some folks still need good old books to curl up to to learn something. That is why your book still needs to exist in a non-html format as well as an HTML format. I was told by my superiors that, if I wanted to teach this course, I must give the students something to walk away from the class with. I am happy to give them your book.
Now I must practice what I preach by giving up my lame "Internet Assistant" editor to develop some REAL web pages using the advice and expertise that comes from your book. :)

I'd like to thank you for writing such great books on HTML. I own both
editions of your book "HTML for the World Wide Web" and use them all the
time for reference. In the beginning, when I did not know much about HTML
at all, your books made more sense than any other HTML related publications
I reviewed. I especially like your format, you provide both a view HTML
code and what the page will look like in a browser.
Since I first started "surfing" the web, I've authored three web pages, one of which is my own personal page. The other two are commerical pages that I've been paid to design. The thried I'm still working on, but it should be complete by the end of January.
Thanks again for such logical and helpful books. I hope you are planning on writing more!!

There are now two of your books close at hand near my computer. Thanks.
I started with your book on Netscape and it is now in a state of needed
repair. Recently I purchased your book on HTML and it has already proved
itself as being worth the purchase. The color chart is greatly appreciated.
Removing the mystery of determining the hexidecimal value of a color
(pg.239) has been sorely needed at this address.
And, even though the 'automatic slide show' was an off-the-wall item that maybe was added last-minute, it was the very thing I needed for my index page...Thanks. (Could these little off-the-wall tips and tricks be the subject of another book...?)
I have another book on HTML written by a different author. Even though it got me up and running with my first bare-bones 'web page', your book made clear their garbled, cryptic, insufficient instructions or information on certain tags that I wanted to use but... .
You get the picture..... Thanks again for writing an easy to read and use books, and my thanks to Peachpit Press for publishing it and for realizing that my computer was my major investment, the add-to books should not be another.
Sincerely

I work in a technical bookstore. I've noticed that both men and women, when faced with an entire wall of web publishing books, often leave with a copy of "HTML for the WWW 2ed" because it's a hands-on HTML book that stands out with its elegance, simplicity, groovy hexadecimal color chart and hey! It's only $17.95.

Just a short note to tell you how much I value your new 2nd Edition of HTML
for the World Wide Web - it's wonderful! As far as I'm concerned, it's
worth its weight in gold...
I had become very frustrated recently - I was trying to put together a small personal web site (http://www.sni.net/~sacherd) using BBEdit Light and the L. DAvies HTML Extensions, and was running into no end of grief and misunderstanding about the BASE URL tag. Davies seems to imply that it is damn near mandatory when using relative addressing --- and no matter what I tried, I just couldn't get it right. And, to make things worse, I had loaned all of my HTML books to a friend!
So, in desperation, I ran to my local Barnes & Noble bookstore, and perused their shelves of HTML and WWW books - agonizing over which reference tome to buy. Originally, I figured to purchase "HTML for Dummies," since I have enjoyed several of the titles in that series. But after thumbing through it, I realized that it just wasn't up to the task at hand.
Fortunately, I came upon your book! I have been using several other Visual Quickstart Guides (Freehand 7, and Eudora) - so I knew that the layout and the format would make it easy to find the information I needed - quickly and easily.
Well, you didn't let me down! I have been bouncing back and forth in the book for the past several days, getting new ideas, and learning the whys and wherefors of HTML, with each turn of the page. Your book is so good, I might not even need to ask for my other books back...!

I bought your book, HTML For The World Wide Web, and I am delighted. I'd
been trying on and off to learn HTML, and I swear, I've picked up more in
the last six days than I had in the last six months using other
textbooks!
Finding your book was sheer luck. I'd been to three libraries looking for a book on HTML, and when I couldn't find one, I stomped into a Borders and bought the first one I saw--fully intending to *return* it in a few days! (Yeah, I know; Machiavellian to the max.) I just wanted to look something up, and I'd never found an HTML book worth keeping--boy, was I surprised! Everything I need is in here--and you have made it easy for me to learn it; *all* of it if I want to. Thank you so much!
Danke!

I say a small sample of chapter 2 in a magazine, and I could tell my
girlfrind my wish for my birthday.
I'm reading and I find it the best book about HTML on the market. I read the Dutch version, it took some time before it was on the market (now for 2 weeks, my birthday was in april).
Because I am a training manager in a vocation training centre, I decided to buy a lot of copies for the training "Making your own HTML-pages for your Intranet or Internet". It is a 3 day course. We believe dat it will be a good source after the course.

Maybe the title for the next book??
Clem Wang
I'm half way through your book and i think it's one of the best i've
seen so far.
what made me pick it up: it was THIN. all the other html books are inches thick and way too wordy, so yours sticks out.
what made me buy: there was one idea per page,so it seemed pretty clear, with no-nonsense text. the clicher was the color table in the back. trying to guess colors by frobbing the numbers is tedious at best.
the picture of the church on p48 reminds of a great deal of the Cambridge Mass city hall. i wonder if they are related at all.
sincerely yours,

I recently purchased your Book, HTML for the WWW. I'm just getting started
with web publishing and I browsed several books before selecting yours -
both because of the visual impact and because I looked for answers to a
couple of very specific questions and found the answers immediately. Your
book has been tremendously helpful. As a technical writer myself, I
expecially appreciate the easy-to-follow organization and formatting. It's
relatively comprehensive and precise, yet concise. Thanks for a job well done!

My name is Andrew Wolak and I just recently bought your book HTML For The
World Wide Web 2nd Edition. I would like to say great job!!! This book
was exactly what I was looking for. A clean cut, very straight forward
approach to HTML. I had been using a HTML editing program and found that
to be to restricting so I decided to pick up a book on HTML. Being a
visual learner and one who does not like to read lengthy instructions I
found your book just perfect. It has really made building my WebSite
more enjoyable and self-satisfying!
Yours truly,
Andrew Wolak

I bought and read your book entitled "HTML FOR THE WORLD WIDE WEB"
2nd edition here in the Philippines. Albeit I am not a computer programmer,
I learned a lot just by reading your book. The fact is I almost finished my
project for my personal webpage. I owe you one.
Thank you. God Bless.
