Speed Up Your Site, by Andrew King (New Riders, 2003, ISBN: 0735713243). Like the Web Testing Handbook by Steven Splaine, this is another stand-alone gem for the bookshelf. Speed alone is enough to make or break a Web site and this covers everything possible on how to have a faster-than-a-speeding-bullet Web site, including a chapter on graphics optimization. Its companion Web site offers up-to-date and useful information. (Preview this book on Safari.)

Web Design in a Nutshell, Second Edition, by Jennifer Niederst (O'Reilly, 2001).

It has a section devoted to graphics. (Preview this book on Safari.)
