I know you guys love blogger but you don't have to print that image 25 times. Annoying !

Walter L. Williams said
By the name "Professional" I expected a book that would pick where most "Beginning" CSS books left off. This book is mostly filled with case studies, that is it showing the code of several web sites, instead of being an instructional on how to take advantage of CSS's more advanced features. Its defiantly not what it was described as being.

Robert S. Robbins said
This book is a little out of date because it does not cover Internet Explorer 7.0. However, it does teach you all the CSS techniques that have been used for the past few years and points you to many resources for more information. I only read this book to review the best practices for using CSS and XHTML.

I had learned CSS back in 98, when everything was new, and most of what CSS was MEANT to do just didn't work yet. Move forward 9 years and guess what? It still doesn't! However, this book helped me to expand my CSS understanding and do a lot more cool stuff than I used to be able to do. This is an industry that is ever changing and it pays to keep learning.

S. Smith said
This is not a reference book nor a how to book. It describes web sites & how those sites tackled their display problems. If you have to buy 3 css books, I'd recommend this order:

1. OReilly - CSS The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer (great reference)
2. Any good CSS cookbook

And, if you really need a 3rd book after the 2 above... consider this book along with any of the several others out there.

PS: I am not a fan of MS either, but if I'm paying good money for a book, I don't want to be continually reminded by the authors of how poor of a product ms puts out. The poor quality of MS Web technologies is well known.
