 CSS: The Missing Manual
It is well written and takes you through the process step by step.
br /This is one of those books which you want to keep it within easy reach.
Excellent book for learning CSS. Very highly recommended!
I purchased this book with the need to learn CSS. Initially I thought that meant simply learning its syntax. This book does that well, but also goes much further to give the reader a deeper understanding of why you want to use CSS and how to apply it.

br /Mr. McFarland has done an excellent job of explaining the "why" and "how" of using CSS to build effective web sites. He does this with a combination of useful examples, helpful illustrations, pointers to useful resources, and an entertaining writing style. I appreciated the many tips and tricks which have helped me in the real-world application of my new skills. As a matter of fact, this book just helped me to resolve a nasty IE bug that was driving me crazy. Very highly recommended! (The book, not IE bugs.)

 CSS: The Missing Manual
Superb textbook! Very readable and easy to understand. Only thing that would make it better is a spiral binder because I'll be referring back to it often.
This is the place to start when learning CSS
How is this book excellent?
br /
br /1. It is well written.
br /
br /2. Most chapters have 2 styles: descriptive and prescriptive (or read this, do that).
br /
br /That alone would make it worth quite a bit. But then when you want to get a little deeper, it covers differences between browsers and often gives examples of how to work around those differences.
br /
br /But wait there is more. It references other web sources if you want to go even deeper.
br /
br /I agree with one reviewer, this is not the best reference manual. However, it is an excellent book and if you are trying to learn CSS, this is an excellent book to use.
br /
br /If you need a reference manual, one word: google.
Very Good Book for Learning CSS
I found this book to be very good. I usually have a hard time reading an entire book on technical subjects like this, but this one kept my interest. The tutorials are very good and give real world examples. I highly recommend downloading and completing the tutorials. Many times I found myself saying, aha, so that how you do that. I went from practically no knowledge of css to being able to create css based web designs like a pro. Highly recommended.
