The myths of web accessibility. Slashdot reviews Constructing Accessible Web Sites, by Jim Thatcher et al. I have personally read this book, and recommend it to everyone. The review is well-done (by Slashdot standards anyway), and very positive. As usual, the comments are filled with people who just don't get it, but I am heartened to see so many highly-rated comments from people who do get it, who deconstruct the myths of accessibility and explain them calmly and rationally.
