Re: [WSG] Recommended Books
Designing for Web Standards I can't recommend Jeffrey Zeldman's Designing for Web Standards enough. It's the absolute bees knees :) CSS Eric Meyer's books are great - Eric Meyer on CSS. I think the next one is called More Eric Meyer on CSS but I don't have it yet. Accessibility I've heard good things about Joe Clarke's book, not sure of the name. I've been planning to get it. Can't help you with the others, sorry.

Re: [WSG] Recommended Books
Hi all To not lose these examples in a thread somewhere I have set up a resource category on the website. As with code editors, please put your recommended books up on the site in the category Offline resources (books, magazines etc) We can then refer back to this listing if the topic comes up again. All members can login and edit that resource category. First taxi off the rank is Andy Budd's book listing at http://webstandardsgroup.org/resources/#cat31 - Andy, feel free to update the listing.

It's the absolute bees knees :) ditto, very good book, my copy is making the rounds at work, everybody is very positive. It has not made it into the hands of the one and only tables lives guy yet. also: Web Design on a Shoestring by Carrie Bickner, or how to rebuild the NY Public Library websites, with two people and no budget. CSS More Eric Meyer on CSS learnt more CSS reading this than anything in the past few months and Kay next time I go to a Port-80 meeting I bring it along. Usability Defensive Design for the Web as Andy says contingency design is not sexy, but this is a very readable book on the subject. (When More Eric Meyer on CSS getting heavy going on the bus on the way home I switch to this).
