Good job!
This book's title is quite descriptive. It gives a detailed look at Style Sheets, starting with their "history," basic rules and structure, text and background colors, and other text properties among other topics. While the book specifically discusses CSS1 style sheets, it does devote a chapter to CSS2 (the upcoming standard), but freely admits the standards for it could change, depending of course on browser support (or lack thereof) for the new standards.
And that's another point the book stresses, that every browser is different in what it does or doesn't support with Cascading Style Sheets. One of the book's appendixes contains a table of different style sheet elements and what each browser supports. Another appendix lists CSS resources, which is quite valuable at a time when style sheet standards appear to be ever changing.
I had held off learning about Cascading Style Sheets for quite a while and thanks to this book, I now realize the power and flexibility they provide for web sites.
