Who should buy this book?
Each section focuses on a particular aspect of designing Web sites using CSS. Makes it very easy to browse and find something useful.

Although the topic is broad, there’s a lot of detailed info here. I picked up several CSS tidbits that helped me immediately (like how to use relative positioning with absolute positioning).

If you like a practical/graphical teaching methods you should buy this book. The book is very readable for basic users as technical terms are kept to a minimum. But advanced users won't be left out as many CSS challenges are explained.

The perfect book for a Web designer with excellent graphics a marvelous structure and lots of good information! For more information check out the book section.
