HTML 5 for Web Designers, by Jeremy Keith

If you design web sites, order this book. Informative, fun, direct, clear, practical. It’s everything you want in this kind of book. This is the first book from A Book Apart (from the Zeldman crew who bring you A List Apart). Ships soon, in June.

They put it perfectly:

The HTML5 spec is 900 pages and hard to read. HTML5 for Web Designers is 85 pages and fun to read. Easy choice.
