Well, in 1996 David Siegel's "Creating Killer Web Sites" was what the most influential design book for Web. He at the time promoted PDFs, along with tables for layout which he's credited for erroneously. The awesome Dave Ragget @w3c did in fact propose tables for layout in HTML.

In the spirit of I can best or worse that - at least you didn't write a book called "Designing with Style Sheets, Tables and Frames". I wrote two of Laura Lemay series books. We befriended each other years later. My second book. Awfully my fault. Hilarious in retrospect.

Replying to @mholzschlag @mattl
I did write a book on LiveMotion. Eventually I came to grips with it by punning: DeadMotion GoDead, etc. And I did write about WML, but articles never a frankenbook. WML was a curious idea. Don't imagine it could have scaled to today's mobile world however. Like @media mobile ha!
