Amazon.com: Creating a Web Page with HTML : Visual QuickProject Guide (Visual Quickproject Series)

I suggested to my mum she should have a look at Amazon.com: Creating a Web Page with HTML : Visual QuickProject Guide (Visual Quickproject Series) as suggested by Zeldman and she came back with this:

I ordered what looks like the next one up...has sections on style sheets....it seems idiot guides etc don't expect mums to be fiddling about with style sheets....I looked at one link from the last site you recommended and was informed that obviously, since I was reading this page, I wasn't going to be a mum, I was going to be selling something :)
But then most mums don't seem to have sons who know what their mums ought to be doing.
Even my mum is doing proper xhtml/css. All we need is to convice my dad of the benefits of standards in thatching(?) and we'll be the most standard compliant family in the world.
