Rating: - CSS The missing manual
What a great book on CSS. If you are a beginner like me, this is a must, but you should have some idea of html, even if your knowledge is basic. I started with Dreamweaver CS3 the missing manual, and I haven't looked back.
Thanks Mr Mcfarland. Great Book!!

Rating: - A joy to read
I think this is one of the best technical books I've ever read and it's done with style and humour. I started the book with some very basic knowledge of CSS and finished it feeling far more confident. The structure of the book is excellent with each chapter having an introduction to the topic that you can read anywhere and then ending with an exercise where you put the knowledge into practice.

Don't hesistate. If you want to learn CSS then this is the book you should get.

Rating: - Top CSS book
I have been a student web designer for a few years never touching the coding side of it because well... it scared me. I ended up realising that if I wanted a job as a web designer I needed to learn at least the basics of XHTML and CSS. I started by taking out 'The visual quickstart guide to HTML, XHTML & CSS' from the library. This was a good basic book that got me to grips with it very quickly. As I had to return it after a week I bought CSS The missing manual based on the reviews here.

I prefer it to the quickstart guide as the author explanations are more in-depth, he explains why certain rules get inherited and others don't. However I am glad I had the quickstart book first as it explained more about HTML than this book does. I think if you are completely new to HTML as well as CSS maybe another book is more suited. If you know the basics( and it can be the very basics) of HTML then this book is perfect for teaching you how to use CSS along side HTML for best results. ... Read More

Rating: - A "Must Have"
I wouldn't recommend it to a raw beginner as it does jump in pretty quickly, but I've got a (very) basic grounding on CSS and found it excellent.
The chapters are sensibly organised, the text is easy to read (for font, style and grammar), there's a humour through it to keep it light, and it even suggests that you might want to skip some bits because they're not essential. The tutorials add to the same 'tutorial site' throughout the whole book, so as you work through the chapters there's continuity in the tutorials and you can really see the effects of what you've learned at the end of each chapter.
This book has got the info I need, and has the feel of being written by a programmer who's read many a manual in his time and has now written the book we've all been looking for, in the format we want.
I've since purchased 3 other books from the missing manual series and would recommend all of them.

Rating: - Excellent "learning" book
This book really is very well laid out.

The tutorials take you through the concepts step by step so you can see the effect of each of the rules you enter, and show you why certain rules work in certain ways thus doing a great job of de-mistifying CSS.

The book is also chock-full of URLs for resources and further details on the techniques.

All in all, one of the best coding books I've ever purchased.
