Simply, this book was great. I mean, it was put in such easy terms that almost anyone could understand the criteria of CSS. It had some very nice diagrams(like the Z-Axis model and the CSS Box model). Yes, I gave it a 5, BUT let me list some areas that need a little work on for the third edition, or what should have been in better depth inside this edition.


  • Chapter 5: Fonts. This needed more detail. They only talked of a couple fonts and didn't list any for the more Novice-sided reader.
  • It would have been nice of the author to provide little exercises and scenarios for practice. But then again, this isn't Learning PHP 5.

    Well, it had some very nice features, like a full-fledged CSS example and a quick-reference in the back. This book is great if you would like to master "The Art of CSS".
