There is no single "best" HTML book. As asked, pushed toward online study, and rightly stressed that practice matters. The most reliable approach combines a clear, well‑structured book for learning order with up‑to‑date online references and lots of small projects.

For canonical references and compatibility notes use the Mozilla docs and the living specification, and validate your pages as you learn:

Book suggestions by learning style (no single title fits everyone): Jon Duckett's "HTML and CSS" for highly visual, beginner-friendly coverage; Jennifer Robbins' "Learning Web Design" for a thorough step‑by‑step guide; Mark Pilgrim's "HTML5: Up and Running" or Matthew MacDonald's "HTML5: The Missing Manual" for modern features; Steve Krug's "Dont Make Me Think" for usable interface thinking.

Practical path: learn semantic HTML and basic accessibility first, then CSS layout (Flexbox/Grid), then responsive patterns and testing across browsers/devices. Always check a book's publication date—HTML and browser behavior evolve—so use books for structure and MDN/WHATWG for current details.

Your best, and least expensive, resource will be www.w3schools.com.

This way you can keep up with the most current code without purchasing a book.

It's impossible to say what book is "the best". A books effectiveness is different for every person; but nothing is more effective than experience. As macgurl70 said, a good place to start would be w3schools.
