Recommended books for learning HTML,CSS and Javascript

HTML and CSS are very simple and IMHO don't warrant the purchasing of a book, especially since HTMLdog.com exists. ;)

As for JavaScript, it depends on how in-depth you'll be going and how much you already know. You can start out with tutorials to build your knowledge a bit (the DOM, the language's constructs, basic functions etc.) then later purchase a book depending on how far you get. However if you want to delve right in to it then O'Reilly books are widely regarded as the best, however according to reviews their JavaScript book is apparently somewhat out of date.

Sitepoint books are a bit meh as far as I've heard (obviously depending on author,) but look for reviews to say otherwise.
 
Best way to learn is using tutorial sites really, but it's nice to have a couple of books for reference i got:

CSS the mising manual - o'reilly
HTML Dog the best practice guide to XHTML and CSS (from the people of HTMLdog.com)

There is one other that i have as an ebook which has been quite good - but it escapes my mine atm will post it when i remember it.

Can't help with javascript sorry
 
Have a look "Eric Meyer on CSS" published by New Riders. Not so much a manual on CSS as examples structured around 10 projects that show how CSS can actually be used. Very good.
