Excellent Introduction April 7, 2008

A very good introduction to CSS, particularly well illustrated explaining the order of HTML and CSS. Would recommend this one to anyone interested in learning the basics of CSS.
Brilliant beginners manual January 18, 2008

I'd already designed a couple of simple websites using tables, but knew this was not the way forward and CSS would have to be my next step. I wanted a book that would 'teach' me the basics from start to finish, and I'm pleased to say that this is that book.
I found it a really easy book to read and the tutorials were easy to follow. I was able to apply things I'd learnt in each chapter to the site I was developing at the time, and see it start to take shape, which is extremely satisfying.
Clever and engaging January 4, 2008

This book is simply brilliant in explaining css in a clear and engaging way. It's broken into logical sections which allows for easy review of just the subjects needed for later. It's more an introduction to the power of css than the basics and you walk away from it with more than a fair share of tools and tricks for your own web development pleasure.
It probably doesn't answer every css question but it goes a very long way!
 A good starting point December 31, 2007

Great book to learn about CSS starting from zero knowledge, with lots of supporting web links to follow up on to get really into the low level details. Slightly disappointed that it didn't really cover a wider area of application of CSS: mostly mainstream stuff (multi-panel web design etc.). It also is mostly 'pure CSS', but you can't expect everything out of one book: for that you'll need an advanced CSS book or do your own research on the web; this is a great starting point.
Without doubt the best coding book in the world ... ever!! November 21, 2007

I have read countless coding books, from HTML to JAVA, all of which claim to be the book you need, the one must have. To date none have stood up to that claim. Without exception I have finished the book and looked back wondering just how much I have taken in and learnt - if I'm lucky 20%. That is till now.
CSS - The Missing Manual is, in my opinion, a great book from all aspects. It's enjoyable to read, the tutorials work, the subject is explained in all it's glory, warts an' all, and I'd read it again (sadly just because I enjoyed it so much). It covers so much and actively demonstrates the shortcomings of CSS and browser compatibility - and then gives you the simple fixes to the problems. How refreshing (pardon the pun).
It also gives you a wealth of other excellent reference points (mainly web sites) to build upon the book content further.
Thank you David Sawyer McFarland for this quite brilliant book.
