What a wonderfully easy book to read October 2, 2008
This is an excellent book. Dan writes in a style (get it! CSS) that is easy to read, consistant in all chapters, and the content is just excellent. Clearly he isnt just a web designer, and knows how to write. This book is excellent for beginners' like me. I would suggest a read of something like Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML(which is excellent to get you started) beforehand, as I did, then move onto this book. This is one of those web books that is a must have, as although it is slim, it is packed with easy to learn goodies.
He has another book, which although I havent read looks in a similar style and quality (skimmed through it). Read this book early on, and it will help you a great deal (dont wait till you develop bad habits).A must buy for the web designer.
Another 5 star review April 13, 2008
Not being a Web Designer but a Web Developer doing ASP.Net, I can produce working web sites but they would never be described as "cool" and I thought I just didn't have the ability to create great looking sites - Until now.
After doing an Open university course which peaked my interest in client side web design and CSS, this book shows you how to style and layout your web pages and make them accessible to everyone. You can work through the bite size chapters and by the end of the book you are putting together all the pieces to create a 2 and 3 column flexible layout.
This is great for a beginner and for those who already know CSS.
 Great Book! January 1, 2008
This is a great book. It's very simple to understand even for the beginner and explains things very clearly with clear examples. The only worry for me would be the fact that it might be a bit outdated in places due to the fact that it was published in 2004. Otherwise, great buy!
This book will definately NOT gather dust on your shelf! September 15, 2007

This is a popular book in our studio providing a sound foundation of best practices for CSS & XHTML web design. In a similar way to The CSS Anthology, this book asks a question, such as, "What is the best way to mark up a numbered list of items?" or "How can I use CSS to replace text with an image?" However, this book really becomes it's own, by proceeding to suggest 3 or 4 methods with clear and concise examples, before summarising with the pro's and con's of each method.
It's sectioned into chapters including lists, headings, forms, tables and layouts with the familiar Friends of Ed thumb-indexing for quick and easy access. This is one of those books that you'll keep on your desk for regular reference rather than gather dust on your shelf.
A Breath of Fresh Air September 6, 2007
As a supplement to Dan Cederholm's "Web Standards Solutions" book, I have bought and read his companion volume - "Bulletproof Web Design". Unlike most books that I have seen on web design, they do not contain compendia of HTML/XHTML/CSS statements, but a rational and thoughtful collection of ideas, insights, theory and practical techniques. I am now confident that I can start to build web sites of my own that have a sound foundation for their implementation, are well-structured and accessible.
I recommend these books most highly.
