Are you a visual learner?
There’s Jon Duckett’s HTML & CSS

I would say this book is an oldie, but a goodie because even though this was published almost 8 years ago, it’s a good book to learn the fundamentals and it has good visual aids that go along with the concepts being taught.

There’s also Jennifer Robbins’s Learning Web Design

This book teaches you HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s a good book, it has plenty of exercises and from my experience, it’s a good reference book for concepts.
