I would say yes it is a waste of money, since a standards book should
reflect the adopted standard. HTML 3.0 was not adopted, hence it would not
be appropriate to follow it. The same goes for the newly *proposed* 3.2.
Until it is adopted, treat it as such.
There is a great deal of good reference material on HTML standards at http://wwww.w3.org

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Since HTML 3.0 is history, would it
be a waste of one's money to purchase one of the many HTML 3.0 books that
are on the market?
I wonder why these books got published in the first place...
Were publishers just trying to get a jump start on the market, and it
turned out to be a bad decision?
