PINT in Print: 3 Books Earn High Praise and Steady Sales

Posted:

Three books by PINT founder Thomas A. Powell continue to sell well in the highly competitive Internet book market.

Web Site Engineering: Beyond Web Page Design, published in the Spring of 1998 by Prentice-Hall, has been highly praised as a breakthrough text on a neglected subject. Web Site Engineering examines the application of software engineering principles to Web sites. The first printing of Web Site Engineering sold out in its first month on bookstore shelves.

HTML: The Complete Reference has become the best-selling title in Osborne/McGraw-Hill's Complete Reference series since its initial publication in December 1997. Already in its second printing, this substantial volume has drawn positive comments from readers around the world.

"This book should rapidly become a standard reference work for anyone working with HTML," says reader Chas Stoddard of Glastonbury, England. "The writing style is clear and articulate without the verbosity that is sometimes associated with what is, after all, a potentially complex subject. Information is easy to find and well indexed and the examples are copious."

Excerpts and reference materials from HTML: The Complete Reference are available online at www.htmlref.com.

The HTML Programmer's Reference, also published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill, offers a concise summary of HTML 4.0 elements and character entities, updated from HTML: The Complete Reference.
