Many of the errors in the XHTML are minor, like leaving out alt in the markup for an image. But I've learned from bitter experience that even minor errors can come back to bite you.

No problem at all, and thanks for the compliment, too!
My subconscious must be as quick as you are (but not my conscious mind, it's a turns like a battleship) -- I was nosing around in my text editor (
NOTETAB, HOOAH!) and it has a menu entry to run
tidy.exe. Just had to download it, and stick it in the NoteTab directory. So I ran it and found most of those errors, too!
I fixed all the
alt tags, and updated the macros to add them. And I found the silly unclosed
img tags and fixed those (and their macros.) There were a couple of regex-missed
strong tags -- got 'em. Now
tidy reports no errors!
What were the CSS errors, can I ask? The zipfile attached here has a new one, so maybe no errors now... and it has some additional table icons. (I may add a basic map of Barsoom, so I added the symbol for the map tables -- plus it makes the tables consistent to all have an icon/button, so I added Tables, too.)
Give this a try, if you have time, and let me know. I have made the covers for the next four books in the series, and I expect I should be able to knock them all out with the same CSS. The next ones could all come very quickly once this is settled in place.
Thanks AlexBell! I definitely appreciate the feedback.

EDIT: I ran the CSS through the validator -- it's clean now!
One text/font mixup, one bad value and three floats that had no width (which I had
no idea was necessary.) Thanks for the link!
EDIT 2: I wasn't sure if I had updated the CSS and HTML in this zip, so I switched to a new zip. If you downloaded it (and one person did!) you may want to re-download.
