Here are some books currently in print and soon anticipated about XML. All books that are in print and which I've had an opportunity to review get one of three ratings: Buy It An essential book for any XML user. Browse It This book may be useful for some people. Skim through it in your local bookstore to see if you like it before laying out your cash. Recycle It Toss it in the recycling bin. ("Burn it" would have been more alliterative here, but I have a general aversion to advocating book burning, even in jest. I also considered "bag it" and "barf on it" at which point I decided alliteration wasn't that important.
Note that these ratings are mutable depending on the competition and the comparison between the book and the current release of Java. Generally a book's rating will go down over time except when a new edition is released.

Publication Date: December, 1999. Order from amazon. XML Elements of Style is aimed at developers who already have at least a basic understanding of XML. It covers the XML 1. 0 and Namespaces in XML Recommendations in detail - everything from elements and attributes to unparsed entities and notations. Interoperability issues get special highlighting, including details on the interactions between Namespaces and XML and the behavior(s) of non-validating parsers. Despite the title, this book does not cover CSS or XSL in depth - it covers 'style' used in a more general sense, as best practices.
