The Principles of Beautiful Web Design
$39.95
It is not a book I would consider mandatory but it gives a good overview of what can be done.
It does not show you how though. It has many good links to some helpful websites to define the look and feel of your project website.

It is nice to have but nor really helpful for anyone I would compare it to a nice set picture catalogues for someone in search of visual ideas.

Build Your Own Website the Right Way Using HTML & CSS
$29.95
I bought the book together with two others it gave me a good overview and starting point for the website I was planning to do.

It is clear and well written, I think though that it needs to be bought together with some other books that go into more detail for CSS and HTML.

It is a good starter for someone who wants to set up his own personal website and a good stepping stone for someone completely new, who is setting up his personal business website and wants to get a first sniff at this world to do it the right way.

I would buy it in addition to a more specific book for Expression WEB or Dreamweaver in addition to some books on CSS and HTML.

Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition
$40.00
A bit too long, he could've provided the same information on less pages but I definitely recommend the book. It's worth reading, especially for anyone who's doing web stuff.
