I recommend you:

Don't Make Me Think - A Common Sense Approach To Web Usability by Steve Krug.

This is a very popular book and it helps you to get a better idea of how a website must be created. Even if this is a usability book I find it very useful when you start to create a website.

Another book would be The Principles of Beautiful Web Design by Jason Beaird. This book helped me a lot to get around on how a website should look and feel.

None of these books are about HTML or CSS both are explaining how a website should be.

Hope that you will find them useful.
