Read the title!This is not an HTML book.If you are hoping to be able to code your first web site after reading this book, you might struggle a bit.This is a decent book on how to construct a web site.As with most "Dummies" books the explanations seem to drag.However, I have found that they can be a good introduction to a subject, if the reader is truly "in the dark".
If you have never written any type of computer program, or if you struggle with using your computer, and are still set on creating your own web page (go for it; they aren't that tough) buy this book and "HTML for Dummies".The combination of the two will get you up and running.
