A book store or local library should have a book on HTML. I suggest you try to find one of the thinnest books available. The lengthy ones give to much information. You can always learn that extra stuff later. You can also try an online HTML tutorial. Many people have learned from these and I learned all about the new stuff HTML has with these.
Books:
If you can't memorize stuff and constantly
need a reference, you should get a book. Like I said, the thinner the better
if you are a beginner. Also look for pictures as a picture is worth a thousand
words.
