4.0 out of 5 stars thick content, though perhaps not the most efficient methods, 31 May 2004
By Ian Stalvies "istalvies" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All of the other reviews on this page are spot on - Eric Meyer has a fantastic knowledge of what you can do with CSS (see meyerweb.com for up to date stuff) and as a pure reference guide of examples and case studies, there probably isn't a better tome on the market as of 2004.

Just ONE caveat however - the abundance of detail isn't always backed up by a clear, concise approach, such as planning the page in advance, grouping elements in a logical manner and so on. This means that unless you live your life in code, it can take a while to find out what's making the changes and causing the pretty effects he describes throughout!

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing change!, 23 Jul 2002
If you're like me, then you'll absolutely hate (and be sick of) all the CSS books that teach you how to style a webpage that looks like it has leapt right off of a browser from 1995! You know the thing... a page title with a background image, followed by a horizontal rule and then a coloured rectangle including some bold italic text! Not to mention the tiled page background image. Nice!

Well, this book blows away the myth that you can't style modern, design orientated sites using CSS. Each project is a real world example, and you get a great feel of how to implement the teachings on other projects.

The joy of the writing style is that you can either "play along" on the PC, or just read the book first. I have found that reading the sections and then programming is best.

If you are a complete CSS newbie, then this book is probably not ALL you will need. There is no real explanation of some of the terms and principles used, but where I've been in doubt, a simple web search has given me the answers needed. I'm sure even if you are a CSS expert then you will learn new techniques from the book.

This book definitely get's 5 stars from me, and if I had a hat on I'd tip it in Eric Meyers' general direction!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to unlocking the power of CSS, 1 April 2005
I read this book after gobbling up Jeffrey Zeldman's Designing with Web Standards. That book had truly converted me to Web Standards and I was keen to expand my knowledge of CSS to fully embrace standards. Since Eric Meyer is regarded as THE CSS guru his book was the first I went for.

The book is certainly a good introduction to unlocking the power of CSS. Meyer takes you through various short projects, explaining step by step how he styles each document. His writing is easy to follow and although the example pages aren't jaw droppingly beautiful, they don't have to be to illustrate just what you can do with CSS. One thing to be aware of is that you'll need a decent grounding in CSS before picking up this book. This isn't a reference, more a hands on tutorial in how to use CSS. Try Eric's "Cascading Style Sheets the Definitive Guide" published by O'Reilly if you're a complete CSS newbie.

From a personal point of view, I found the book a little too basic. CSS isn't hard to pick up and much of the book was going over things I already knew. But nearly every chapter featured a little nugget of information that made me say "ahhhh, that's interesting...." so for that alone it was worth reading.

It wasn't until the final few chapters on mutli-column layouts, absolute positioning and fixed backgrounds that I started to learn something brand new. But that just shows there's something in this book for everyone and if your new to CSS then I highly recommend it.
