Worthy for beginners
The book covers all the basics of CSS that you would think of, and shows you how to do things through ten minute sessions that allow you to pick the ideas and techniques that are in the book very easily.

A great introduction
I had been trying for some time to get my head around css page layout. As I have Dreamweaver 8 I found that I had come to rely on tables to a large extent but was unhappy with the overall clumsiness of using this format. I have bought several books on css but always felt there was no logical progression in what I read. Well this book has done it for me! It has filled in all the gaps - now my documents validate immediately!!!

The book that is the missing link.

An excellent first introduction
This is the best introduction to any computing subject that I have ever read. It explains first principals logically and clearly, which is useful even if you have used CSS before.
It is not intended as a reference guide and once you've read it you will probably almost never refer to it again; so you will need a second book, or use the web for reference.
However, even though I only read it once, it was definately worth the money.
