Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide.
Eric A Meyer & Richard Koman (Editor)

This was recommended under the hwg banner, and I looked at it. As an 
O'Reiley book, I thought it would be a dry read (as many O'Reiley's can be, 
at least to me.) but I found it interesting, logical, straightforward and 
an enjoyable read. I highly recommend it. What I especially liked was that 
it told you what works in todays browsers and what has glitches, and how to 
work around the glitches. And it does it in easy to digest and work with 
chunks.

I tried a few other "learn in 24 hour" type books, and nothing else seemed 
to encapsulate it all as well as this did. Too many other left out too much 
for my tastes. But then I am the type who likes to understand the whys, not 
just the "do action A for result B."

I have since loaned my copy to a friend, and I hope I get it back soon, as 
I am in need of looking up a couple of things.

Enjoy your reading.  :-)
