This is one of the few reference books that I have actually sat down and read cover to cover, and it was completely worth it. For years, I had been struggling with using style sheets. I had learned HTML in a sort of mashed up, thrown-to-the-fire, just-do-it sort of way, but when I tried to do the same thing with CSS, well I failed to grasp the technology's simple beauty and produced frighteningly horrible style sheets.

I have occassionally meddled with the CSS on my blog, but a recent push to redesign the blog and launch my own site got me interested in learning more. Stylin' with CSS was heavily recommended and I have to say I'm not disappointed. The step by step examples are very helpful, especially in the early chapters when going through the core concepts. Definitely a must-read if you are getting into CSS.
The best reference guide to learning CSS I've read so far. Goes beyond basic principles into much more complex design techniques and mathematical coding structures such as inheritance and pseudo-classes. Also has a well-organized and extensive CSS properties chart in the appendix, which is perfect for quick reference.

I like this author, Charles Wyke-Smith. He also did a book I use a lot "Codin' for the Web". Very usefule.
Aha, this book is just what I needed. It's taught me what I've wanted to know to make webpages that are cool looking but also web standards compliant--meaning that I can make webpages that are readable across many platforms, and by people using screenreaders, or text-only interfaces. Nice! It means learning how to structure content cleanly and then applying the CSS to make it look rad, like I want.
Trying to teach myself some CSS. Not easy, but this book has given me some good tips.
Sections on CSS internals (box model, etc) were quite good, but I wish there were more of them. Also, examples could have been presented more compactly.
My first css book and it was pretty good. I probably can't be much of a judge seeing as this is my first but I feel like I learned a lot.
Gotta read some nerd shit for work. Excellent guide to CSS. It gets you up and running in no time.
For beginners, and too talky to serve as a practical reference book.
I am wandering around in this book. So far, quite good.
