Great CSS "textbook" - 2009-01-29
Reviewer Rating:
This book is like a textbook for css. There isn't much introduction or extra content, it just says "Here's what things you can change in css, here's the accepted values for them"

For me, it was perfect. The book tells you the various ways to include it in html pages, it tells you how things are calculated and best of all, it's cheap.

Great book.

I suggest reading the definitive guide first but I keep this pocket version on my desk (well, I know it's around here somewhere). A useful quick reference for web designers that have abandoned the outmoded world of tables-based layout.

Excellent Reference - 2008-09-01

The CSS Pocket Reference is just that, a "reference". It is not a lesson guide on using CSS. It will give you the quick syntax when you need it. It also gives a list of the browsers that support each element. Very helpful if you want your page to be compatible with more than one browser.

Mine's raggedy from overuse - 2009-08-14

I have the 2nd edition, and want the 3rd for two reasons. It's updated, of course. And mine's all ragged, coffee stained, pock-marked, and like that, from sitting by my side constantly. (You'd think I'd have this stuff memorized by now, no?) This, plus a few other carefully selected O'Reilly pocket books, are all you need to get the job done. Be a CSS fanatic!
