Ah, that put a big ol smile on my face in terms of it helping folks. (And you having to buy copies lol). I however will argue that this was NOT a Web 1,0 book. It was the transitional book out of 1.0 I think. Others? What Web is it now btw? I lost track. :P

I bought at least 5 copies of that book. Used it to evangelize Web Standards to F500 executives throughout New York. Had to keep buying copies because developers who borrowed it never wanted to give it back!!! A truly influential Web 1.0 text.

I think of it as one of the definitive Web 1.0 books because it laid the foundations for Web 2.0 while teaching us practical skills for creating beautiful Web sites using only the HTML and CSS that all browsers supported at the time. No shims. No frameworks. No “modern browsers.”

That's called the Web as it was meant to be. I think it's not Web 1.0 if we have to mark it. SAME XHTML, Designer CSS, no script and yet - wow. It's been referred to as a "Proof of Concept" (actually that was Dave's Garden IMO) but the book got the word out along with sessions.

The Unbroken Web is better than Web 1.0 for sure.
