Avoid - out-dated (0/0 people found this helpful)
I bought this book years ago but only I read it recently (2008) because the need to use CSS went away - and then came back... I shouldn't have bothered - I ended up wasting a lot of time...
If you're new to CSS like I am then the big thing you have to understand is that you don't just have to learn CSS - you have to learn about the bugs in the various browsers (mainly Internet Explorer) and the workarounds.
This book mentions some of them but doesn't offer any help with dealing with them. The problems have been tackled by others and learning about the solutions is just as important as learning about CSS itself.
I bought "CSS - The Missing Manual" by David Sawyer McFarland and it's excellent - not only does it teach you the CSS but it deals with the browser bugs, shows you techniques for dealing with tricky design/layout problems, and points you towards countless web sites that provide extra information, free CSS layouts/templates, and other resources.
Very well writtin book (6/7 people found this helpful)
This book is very good for any one who is starting out learning CSS, I already knew quite a bit of all the basics, but this book helped me go a bit more advance with CSS, well worth the money.
A great introduction (17/17 people found this helpful)
This is another excellent book in the SAMS "Teach Yourself" series. It assumes that you know nothing apart from basic HTML and goes from there. The chapters are well paced and introduce topics in a sensible order, each chapter building on the last.
With some of the later chapters, it helps to have a grasp of JavaScript but you could probably get by without it. However learning JavaScript in addition to CSS will help you get the most out of it.
