How many times have you visited a website and thought to yourself, "Gee, that looks cool. I wonder how they do that?" Well, chances are this book can answer that question. The examples and solutions are pretty clear, which is good. Color images would have been nice (granted, expensive), seeing as how color plays a big role in styling.
Note that this book doesn't teach you CSS, nor does it profess to. If you're looking to learn about CSS there are better books out there, for example, O'Reilly's "Head First HTML & XHTML with CSS" (which is in color). This book serves a "I know what I want to do - how do I do it" purpose, and it does that well.

"...this book isn't a luxury sedan. It's a sports car, it's meant to be driven. The no nonsense approach to problems and solutions allows one to focus on the actual problems and solutions."
