A great reference book that covers forms well is HTML--the definitive Guide by OReilly & Assoc. This is a must-have reference next to your desk, in your book-bag or briefcase, bedside...whatever. Randy Warshaw

Positively the best book on CGI (Perl) Ive ever seen is Creating Cool Web Pages with Perl by Jerry Muelver. IDG Books, ISBN 0-7645-3018-6, cover price $29.99. It comes with Perl for Wintel on CD as well as other utilities, and errata. This book assumes no programming experience, and no heavy Unix experience. I had the pleasure of proofing it while it was being written, and my SO wrote the forward. That may sound like I have a bias, but having several hundred dollars worth of Perl books on my shelf, this one is definitely the most used. Ann Navarro

Either of Robin Williams books, The Mac Is Not A Typewriter or The PC Is Not A Typewriter should be required reading before obtaining a license to operate a desktop publishing system. Theyre primarily aimed at print, but contain invaluable information that you can translate to HTML design and to Web graphics. If youre still using inch marks instead of curly quotes and apostrophes, you NEED to read one of these books! Suzanne Stephens

If you are typography hungry, check out Erik Spiekermanns books Rhyme and Reason and Stop Stealing Sheep. They cover just about everything as far as type rules, customs, and rules-of thumb, plus more in-depth discussions of typefaces and history. They are also fairly short (an hours read) with plenty of diagrams and samples. Of course, this is typography for print, but I think most of the rules apply almost anywhere. Darrel Ausrin

I would recommend the book The Non-Designers Design Book by Robin Williams. This is a great book for beginners (for which I include myself) - even though it isnt a computer or Website design book, it has design basics. Kathy Hunsicker

These are some of the most used references on my shelf. Being Digital by Nicholas Negroponte (MIT Media Lab) isnt a design book, per se, but a fascinating snapshot of the history and future of the digital revolution. A must read for anyone remotely involved. Some of the things these people at the MIT Media Lab have actually done are right out of the pages of 1960s science fiction. Being Digital Todd Palmer
