Book Review: CSS The Definitive Guide

I just finished reading “CSS The Definitive Guide” by Eric A.. Moyer, published by O’REILLY. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. It was very good but the reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I wanted a precise specification of CSS 2.1 to guide me in implementing software for authoring web pages, however I found that, not surprisingly, the official CSS 2.1 specification is better for that purpose.
The first few chapters of this book cover the basics of Cascading Style Sheets in a very clear and comprehensive manner. Later chapters, covering more advanced topics, and were very good also, but I found that their description of what goes on “under the hood” was not as good as in the official specification.
If I had to pick only one CSS book then I would prefer the “CSS The Missing Manual” by David Sawyer McFarland, published by O’REILLY, but you probably would not be wasting your money if you decided to buy both books.
