This book is billed as "A complete and thorough and up-to-date reference guide for CSS."
The content of the book is up to date as of the time of printing but with the ever changing draft of CSS it won't be up-to-date for long. Don't get me wrong. It is a good refrence book and they do a good job of explaining what each tag does.

I don't want anyone to to do the same mistake I made!!! Read Below

I bought this from SitePoint direct via a downloadable PDF and due to the current system they use to send you the password encrypted file. I have large gray blotches in the PDF which makes it annoying to read. I contacted Customer Service three days ago and haven't heard back.
I have purchased one other PDF through O'Reilly and I loved my experience. I will buy books from O'Reilly again but never again from SitePoint.

"The typography is clear. The book is concise and clear with little wasted space or verbiage. The color scheme for highlighting the various sections is extremely easy to read and pleasant. "

Seven days without a response from SitePoint. I deleted the file and gave up.

This is very unusual for them. I have always been impressed by their customer service and follow-up. In fact I would go so far as to say that they are one of my favorite on-line vendors
