I am going to give you the specifications (PDF versions):
HTML: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/html40.pdf.gz
CSS: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/css2.pdf
JavaScript: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-262.pdf
If you want to be an advanced front-end developer, it is essencial that you become accustomed to these documents. They are all free and I recommend you to print them.
Note: There are more recent specs available (HTML5 and CSS3), but those are still working drafts. The ones that I listed above are still the most important publications in this area - they shall serve you as a base.
Also, note: These specs cannot be considered books, but they are nonetheless the best resources for HTML, CSS and JavaScript!
Here are just a few of the books I've learned from in the past:
- CSS The Missing Manual - David Sawyer McFarland
- Javascript The Missing Manual - David Sawyer McFarland (should be titled jQuery the missing manual but does have a good introduction to javascript)
- CSS Mastery - Andy Budd
- Web Standards Solutions - Dan Cederholm
- PHP 6 and MySQL 5 - Larry Ullman
