Recommended Accessibility books

  1. Joe Clark : Building Accessible Websites. Comprehensive but not overwhelming.
  2. Jim Thatcher and others : Constructing Accessible Web Sites. Less comprehensive than Clark's book, but goes into greater depth in the topics it covers. Gives screenshots of how various screen readers and alternative browsers interpret various tags and markup. Also has an amazing chapter on the current state of legal accessibility requirements.
