Best CSS Books?

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

[pab1953]

I'm actually looking for the best books for beginners, but I thought I'd expand the question beyond that to learn about other titles.

Thank you.

P.S. What prompted this post was that I was about to key in my credit card on Amazon.com for "Eric Meyer on CSS" when I noticed that Meyer's book is three years old, plus I came across this reader review (entitled, "Enough five star reviews. It's not that good.") whixh says...

"The problem with CSS books is that they always take two tracks: They're either a rote reference of the specification, or they're random "projects" that the author either thinks are interesting or, more likely, just happened to complete himself at work, so he feels qualified to write about it. Eric Meyer on CSS is the latter, and it suffers greatly for it."

I have to disagree with the person who stated Eric Meyers book isn't worth it. I have all his books, and in his books you follow each chapter in sequence or as you wish. You get to build actual pages with his books.

In one of his first books on css, you get to take an actual page apart and recreate it in a css styled page. His books teach.

Another great author is Charles Wyke-Smith. Great book.

I would suggest that you go to a site like bookpool dot com and read the reviews in there.

Eric Meyers not good? That has got to be someone who is really not into reading and doing, as that is what his books are about. There are more reviews for his books then against.

Also, order it for review at a book store, go in look through the book, then decide if it is for you.
