Cascading Style Sheets – The Definitive Guide, by Eric A. Meyer
Eric A. Meyer is a well-known and much respected expert on the subject of CSS. In this book he uses his trademark wit and humor to explore all the properties of CSS. The book covers CSS2 and CSS2.1, as well 
I really enjoyed this book. It is very solid and an excellent reference for anything CSS. But it is presented in a precise and concise manner with a huge smile. Eric Meyer seems to have enjoyed writing the book. And that actually makes the book more intesting. The examples – of which there are many – are sometimes funny, and his comments interesting.
Don’t get me wrong – this is a great reference book. And all reference books are to some extent boring – because they cover so much, and always deal with a lot you already know. And this book does all that. But Meyer shows that it is possible to liven up even boring books a little here and there.
CSS: The Definitive Guide details the ins and outs of the CSS specification. It has numerous easy to follow examples. The illustrations are invaluable as they allow you to easily compare the markup, the applied style sheets, and the results. It is very comprehensive and virtually leaves no stone unturned.
If you want to learn more about the newer versions of CSS or you want to have a few really good in-depth reference books on CSS around, then this is a book I strongly recommend. One of the top books on CSS. Really a Definite Guide!
