Worthy for beginners - By: M. Robson, 07 Aug 2007 
The book covers all the basics of CSS that you would think of, & shows you how to do things through ten minute sessions that allow you to pick the ideas & techniques that arein the book very easily.
A great introduction - By: Calico, 10 Jun 2007 
I had been trying for some time to get my head around css page layout. As I have Dreamweaver 8 I found that I had come to rely on tables to a large extent but was unhappy with the overall clumsiness of using this format. I have bought several books on css but always felt there was no logical progressionin what I read. Well this book has done it for me! It has filledin all the gaps - now my documents validate immediately!!!
The book that is the missing link.
An excellent first introduction - By: N. Lee, 13 Jun 2006 This is the best introduction to any computing subject that I have ever read. It explains first principals logically & clearly, which is useful even if you have used CSS before.
It is not intended as a reference guide & once you've read it you will probably almost never refer to it again; so you will need a second book, or use the web for reference.
However, even though I only read it once, it was definately worth the money.
Good simple guide. Nothing fancy just clear short and simple - By: , 08 Mar 2006 Well, I have had this book now for a while, I have read through it & I can say it is a handy book to have. It doesn't claim to be the definative guide, it doesn't contain fancy graphics. What it does contain though is over 20 short lessons that give you an understanding of what CSS is about & the kinds of things that can be achieved.
I would recommend this title for beginners as it doesn't drown youin technicalities, it addresses the core of what beginners would want to know such as positioning, box models & background images to name but a few.
This book will not teach you all there is to know but it will give examples on how to achieve each of the subject areas addressed.
I read the book cover to cover, it didn't take that long & it is surprising what has lodgedin my head. I now have a deeper understanding of what is possible & the code needed to achieve it.
It's worth it's price.
