A very easy to read book. Only major problem is that it needs updating and I would prefer that CSS2 not be limited to a single chapter. For example all the pseudo-classes should be listed and discussed in one place not broken into two different chapters. I suspect that if this book covered all of CSS2 it would become the reference book on CSS for most people for quite a few years to come.


It is very rare that I would consider buying a computer book of this vintage but I passed over another with a somewhat later publishing date because of the quality of the writing in this book.


The browser support chart only show up to IE 5, NS 4 and Opera 3. I spec as a minimum for my sites IE 5.5 and Netscape 6.2 with a strong reccomendation of using IE 6 and NS 7. I'm also starting to support Opera 7. I also would like to see the browser support info duplicated for each property as it is covered in the main portion of the book and not just in the back.
