These are reference books — they give details on how individual bits of code are supposed to work, but not how to put the many possible bits together in useful ways. They’re fairly inexpensive (about $10 each), and highly portable. However, you can get much of the same information from the web, for example the Sitepoint HTML and CSS references, which also have information on browser support for each HTML tag or CSS property.
