This is a definitive reference for CSS, and its written by the people who wrote the standard, so it doesn't go astray. It has good material for beginners and advanced users alike. At some point I would like to buy a newer edition of this book.

Cascading Style Sheets by their two creators: Håkon Wium Lie and Bert Bos.

There is creating websites before and after they began with CSS.

Even though CSS has been updated afterwards the core ideas are still in this book.

A rather useful book in your shelf if you create websites. A must have! ( )

Somewhat dated now, but I think this book is one of the best and most comprehensive books on CSS1 out there. ( )
