I am trying to make a page on my WordPress blog to display book recommendations. I want a picture of the book on the left w/my short review on the right. I wrote the following HTML to do that:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="http://marginofsafetyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/stockmarketgenius.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96" title="stockmarketgenius" src="https://marginofsafetyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/stockmarketgenius.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="160" /></a>
</td>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0684840073?ie=UTF8&tag=marofsafblo-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0684840073">You Can Be a Stock Market Genius by Joel Greenblatt</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=marofsafblo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0684840073" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
Although the title is a little off-putting, this book is an excellent primer on investing in special situations. It provides an overview and case studies of merger securities, spinoffs, recapitalizations, and bankruptcies. It is an easy read and the methods explained are backed up by Greenblatt's amazing decade-long performance.

When I copy and paste this into the HTML editor and then switch to WP's Visual editor, the table looks just as I want it with the text on the right. However, when I publish the page it turns out differently. I have tried <td valign="middle"> for the description, but it did not work. Any ideas?
