Web Accessibility for People With Disabilities (by Michael G. Paciello,
Mike Paciello, Oct 2000) ISBN: 1929629087

________

Part way through reading this.  If you're US based it's great as there's
loads on 508.  Nothing like so much on other parts of the world
(although places like Australia, UK, etc are covered).  It also goes
into a lot of detail about the different html editors out there and
their pro's and cons regarding accessibility
hinting/standards/compliance.  It also covers how various screen readers
work.

I'm about 1/2 way through and, so far it's ok.  Don't expect loads on
coding though, although there is some.

I'd be interested to hear what the other books on your list were like.
