Title: More a manual than a book
Review: How much you like this book depends on what you want out of it. When I buy a book that touts "teach yourself DHTML and CSS the quick and easy way" on the cover, I expect something that's readable and has a series of lessons. What I got was more like a reference manual than a book. If that's what you're looking for, this certainly has a lot of details on how CSS works. But if you want an engaging series of lessons that are easy to read, compelling, and keep your attention -- that's what I wanted -- this fell short for me. Too many lists of commands surrounded by lifeless prose; too few sections that were actually interesting to read.
