HiSoftware has recently published a book "Understanding Accessibility"
(ISBN - 1-930616-03-1). This book, is a guide to creating and testing Web
sites that are developed to the U.S. federal standards for accessible Web
content, and the World Wide Web, or W3C, accessibility guidelines. This book
provides a reference on accessibility remediation. It also provides
guidelines for accessible Web design, and information that will assist
organizations in integrating accessibility into their existing quality
assurance and content management practices.
HiSoftware Publishing is currently in the process of developing the second
edition of the book, which will address WCAG 1.0 guidelines Priority 1, 2,
and 3 as well as Canadian, European and world wide accessibility guidelines.
This second edition will be available as print media.
For a limited time, we would like to make the first edition eBook available,
at no cost, to members of this list. If you would like to download a copy of
the eBook, please visit our site at:

Since we are shamelessly self-promoting here, check out the newly released
Simplified Web Accessibility Guide at www.webaccessguides.org. Hardcopies
are also available.

Glenda that site of yours had another link with topical usability and
access books too, that some may be interested in checking out.
http://www.icdri.org/books.htm
This is really nice, I would like to get a good list together. Seems
when you search on topic at Amazon or Barnes and Noble, there are not
quite this many.
I like this list too because it covers various aspects of usability
design. Aimed at many.
holly
thanks
PS the book looks good. And I think the more books out there on this
topic, the better. I learned CSS by viewing several people's ideas, and
not one of them covered everything I needed, nor in the same kind of
way. So same could be said about books. Some appeal and work written in
one way for some people and others find more value or understanding in
another delivery. Thank you. The more, the merrier. Any others out
there?

High,
if you want a good collection of books on lots of disabiltiy related stuff,
I put one together a while back.
try http://www.icdri.org/books.htm
There are lots of subjects, it took me about a month to put it together.
Order lots and lots, it helps the Center out. I do not get a dime.
Sincerely,
Mike Burks

Hi, Michael

of really great topics.
Thank you.
