I am currently testing out a new version of the APF Bridge Component - If you notice any errors within this demo store please drop me a line.

If you only want one book on CSS, this is it! Not only is the reference complete. But it goes one step further offering examples of how to apply CSS. In my opinion that gives it the edge over other books I have on the subject. This is one book that will never go in the garage sale!

I can not argue with many of the other reviews which describe the errors in the book. There are more than a few. However, most advanced CSS users should be able to spot the errors relatively quickly. But lets not concentrate on the errors.
This book is one of the few CSS books that lives up to its title. This is a book on Mastering CSS, and is an advanced book on CSS (the only truly advanced CSS book that I am familiar with). I find myself re-reading this book quite frequently, to reacquaint myself with the information within. CSS is all about details and the results in multiple browsers. This references helps describe the differences not by simply pointing them out, but by illustrating why they occur.
Highly recommended book... any developer who uses CSS should have this reference at their disposal.

I'm very surprised that no one has mentioned the glaring errors in Chapter 3. A lot of the code does not match many of the names from the downloaded files. The code from pages 52-53 is identical to 50-51 even though it mentions that there are different images. The color they mention doesn't match the images. So far, NOT IMPRESSED!

If you are truly new to CSS and not really proficient in HTML, browsers and the like, this is not what you need. The authors will have you think that the book targets a general audience, but this is constantly belied by examples were some elements are not yet defined and, as things grow in complexity, become mere hints rather than the dissections one would expect from an introductory book. If you need more than a concentrated pill of CSS to jog your memory, pick CSS: The Missing Manual instead.
