I bought it because of the good quality of the 6th ed, but I am disappointed.
The typeset and layout are bad. Look at p170, all the text of the entire page are in bold fonts. Actually those "TIPS" should not be bold because there are too many of them. Look at the big blank window between p278 and p279. Double-column layout is OK but should never be abused like this.

Some good stuff on HTML5 and CSS3. If you have a background in HTML, skip the first ten or so chapters. The discussion on styling for mobile and responsive web design is where this book starts to take off in a positive way. Lots of good resource links for further research.
