They're frequently inaccurate.

If inaccurate, they're wrong. If the W3C spec is somehow wrong, it
magically becomes correct (if infuriating)

They cost money.

Almost no HTML / CSS books are worth opening, especially if you're
looking for real authoritative descriptions.

You can't leave the web at home.

Well, it might have been like this: various books that had bits and
pieces got into the OPs collection. He was brought up to be fond of
books. Liked them in general and found them comfy to curl up with and
read stuff. But certain questions arose in his mind that he could not
easily find in those books. And he just thought he would ask a question
about a good online source for comprehensive specs and stuff. And being
a nice and friendly and chatty OP, he tells us a bit about himself...

Or possibly it could have been more dramatic. He was committing a
burglary and the cabinet he was rifling was booby trapped. He had his
legs blown off but was near books on emergency medical procedures and
the first aid cabinet was reachable too. He fixed himself up to live
but could not move much. There were also some books about websites. He
picked up some stuff but wanted more. Finally, he got help, got to a
computer, and in his understandable excitement and distraction, blurted
out his request to this newsgroup...

Ho hum...
