CSS book needed

[wmk86]

what book should i get on CSS?

[Pat Burroughs]

I found Cascading Style Sheets - The Definitive Guide published by O'Reilly to be quite useful and easy to follow.

[Saz]

I went scanning for CSS books on Amazon.com, and ended up getting Cascading Style Sheets - Designing For The Web. It's published by Addison Wesley and written by Hakon Wium Lie and Bert Bos who are both members of the W3C and the creators of CSS.

I think it's great and makes CSS really easy to understand if you're new to it.

I second what saz says. The book is really easy to follow, but also gives a wealth of information.

The book also looks into other aspects of CSS which aren't so well known, such as Aural Stylesheets.

[TheOriginalH]

Cascading
Style
Sheets 2.0 - Programmer's reference

Published by Osbourne, written by Meyer, Eric A. - Excellent reference book - REALLY detailed - not too accessable if you are starting out. - If you're new to it, go for Saz & Scpt-Bot 's option

the best CSS book ever written?

A Designers Guide to Stylesheets by Steve Mulder, the author of the Webmokey's Guide to Stylesheets, one of the best CSS tutorials on the net.

Perhaps I got a bunk copy, but I have the Cascading Style Sheets designing for the web book and the index is fubar (the page numbers are all wrong).

Makes it frustrating when trying to use it as a quick reference.

Believe it or not, there were two tutorials that changed my life as related to web development. This tutorial was one, the other one was Building a Database Driven Website with PHP & MySQL by Kevin Yank.
