This book was good not only because it covers a very large number of style elements, but it also covers the practical application of those styles. As a developer, being able to see large numbers of examples positioned close to the style itself was helpful. Additionally, each style has a block listing the possible attributes for the style and whether the style will be inherited plus other behviors. Between this and my JavaScript reference, I use these two books more than any when working on web applications. Once you get used to the books layout and throw a few sticky notes in key places, it is easy to lookup key styles and methods quickly.
