I used SAM's Teach Yourself HTML in 24 hrs ... loved that book .. its great and starts from basics !
That depends on what exactly do you want to learn. If you want a quick reference for making a simple site, get
"SAMS HTML in 24 Hours" or if you want an extensive learning course, get "SAMS HTML 4.01" or something similar. BTW, I would suggest you to learn from the internet if you have got a good connection.

Then don;t get the 24 hours series.They are more like once-use-and-throw type books only as little content for you to kow how html looks like. And for which you have to pay. Get the 'The complete reference' series I mentioned. It is around a thousand page strong. It can be used as a reference book later on. And still later on, you can use it as a pillow 
But, if u have the connection time left in ur account, I'll advise to learn it from w3c.com or internet.com to get a more realistic and practical approach to HTML. After all, when u've mastered the basics of html, you won't even need a reference book or any help.

I have HTML in 24 hours and I have never referred to any other book, simply because HTML is just the beginning. You will need to know CSS, PHP, MySQL, etc to be able to make web sites (or good web-sites).
Additionally, once you get hold of basics, then you can rely on some reference like w3schools and you will sail through. Then you also get 1st page 2000 from *www.evrsoft.com for editing HTML pages and that one also has a reference. So you really don't need to spend too much.
hehee...buddy, don't skimp on a book, books are generally the best investment you ever make. I personally do not like reading things on a computer screen and prefer a printed book over an ebook anytime. Oh and i am saying this even though i have a toshiba 14" tablet pc & my entire apartment has wireless internet (even the bathroom ). I use internet (read Google) for quick references, that is what it is best for.

bought an additional battery and a usb security lock (uses encryption to lock out HD).
I bought it for ~US$2200 a few months back. I asked one of my friends in India to check its price in India, you know, to feel good
and boy, did it make me happy! The same s_hit sells for ~Rs.1,70,000+tax in India - a clear difference of more than Rs.70,000!!
You are new to this place so you prolly don't know but I used to ask people here if they need any tech stuff (laptops, gfx and stuff) everytime before i make a trip to India so that my desi bhais don't get ripped off.
Anyway, good luck with HTML, hope you will find it easy. Just some more things, i'd like to suggest. Do check out CSS as well and never trust IE for your final ouput, always check it on Firefox before you publish your pages. And after you get your hands dirty with HTML, i guess, you'd wanna play with PHP....oops, i'm sorry if this sounds overwhelming but just wanna lay out a roadmap for you.
