This is not a comprehensive A-Z book on CSS, it is a compilation of seven essay / tutorials by five different authors on specific topics (headings, images, backgrounds, navigation, forms, rounded corners, and tables). This book is much like 7 blind folks describing an elephant and whole swatches of the elephant are left uncovered and undescribed.

This book is actually a collection of seven detailed tutorials dealing with seven topics from the very basics to advanced features, mentioning also usability, search engine optimization and accessibility issues. There are headings, backgrounds, tables, forms, images, navigation and rounded corners. The only ones which can hold some secrets from an experienced developer are forms and tables. I admit that I don't use tables often and I didn't know some of their features, so I did learn something f

Wow, I've had this book for years and I never read it until now. I just skimmed through all the pages and it is all stuff I already know. Plus a lot of the stuff is outdated because it talks about using flash for font replacement using sifr. These days you can use the Google Font library or Adobe Typekit to change the font on a page. it also talks about tricks to get rounded corners but you can do that with CSS3.

I read this book about 7 or 8 years ago, when I was starting out, learning web development. It is an easy read for the beginner, and the intermediate level web dev would appreciate many of the topics and the practical approach the author takes in addressing many topics.
The Art & Science of CSS is one technical book I remember fondly.

Beautiful, inspiring book. What a pity it's so out of date. (Written in 2007) I skipped so much of it as with CSS3 there are much easier ways of doing things. However, the book did go in to the psychology of design, and had me really wanting to start a new website!

One of the best books I have read on CSS so far. Very beautifully explains how to create accessible and beautiful webdesigns. However, this is to be used only if you are familiar with HTML/CSS and want to sharpen your skill set.
It's a bit dated now, and I'm a little late reading it. Having said that there were still a couple tricks that I learned from running through the book. If you're looking for a better grip on common CSS issues and how to get past them, this is a good choice.
This book includes too much code, which is very redundant and waste of space. However, examples throughout the book is very self-explained, and provides concrete knowledge of basic CSS. I recommend this book for CSS beginner who want to learn basic css by examples.
Great basic introduction to teble-less CSS webdesign as well as sIFR.
