Simply put, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to separate a document's structure from its presentation. The benefits of this can be quite profound: CSS allows a much richer document appearance than HTML; CSS saves time--you can create or change the appearance of an entire document in just one place; and its compact file size makes web pages load quickly. Eric Meyer, a member of the CSS&FP Working Group and an internationally known expert on HTML and CSS, tackles the subject with passion and delivers a comprehensive and thorough update to his groundbreaking book. All readers will benefit from both the depth and breadth of his experience and his clear and honest style. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is a thorough review of all aspects of CSS2.1 and a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation. The book includes new content on positioning, lists and generated content, table layout, user interface, paged media, and more. It explores in detail each individual CSS property and how it interacts with other properties, and shows how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation. If you're ready to take the next step with your HTML coding and incorporate CSS or are already a CSS code warrior, you'll find Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the book you've been craving.

Cascading Style Sheets can put a great deal of control and flexibility into the hands of a Web designer--in theory. In reality, however, varying browser support for CSS1 and lack of CSS2 implementation makes CSS a very tricky topic. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide is a comprehensive text that shows how to take advantage of the benefits of CSS while keeping compatibility issues in mind.
The book is very upfront about the spotty early browser support for CSS1 and the sluggish adoption of CSS2. However, enthusiasm for the technology spills out of the pages, making a strong case for even the most skeptical reader to give CSS a whirl and count on its future. The text covers CSS1 in impressive depth--not only the syntactical conventions but also more general concepts such as specificity and inheritance. Frequent warnings and tips alert the reader to browser-compatibility pitfalls.
Entire chapters are devoted to topics like units and values, visual formatting and positioning, and the usual text, fonts, and colors. This attention to both detail and architecture helps readers build a well-rounded knowledge of CSS and equips readers for a future of real-world debugging. Cascading Style Sheets honestly explains the reasons for avoiding an in-depth discussion of the still immature CSS2, but covers the general changes over CSS1 in a brief chapter near the end of the book.
When successfully implemented, Cascading Style Sheets result in much more elegant HTML that separates form from function. This fine guide delivers on its promise as an indispensable tool for CSS coders. --Stephen W. Plain

... aber dieses Buch von Eric A. Meyer ist ein außerordentlich nützlicher Begleiter, wenn man tatsächlich mit Cascading Style Sheets arbeiten will. Der Fokus liegt ganz klar auf der tatsächlichen Anwendbarkeit von CSS1 und CSS2, der Autor veranschaulicht die gestalterischen Möglichkeiten und Auswirkungen von Stylesheets mit zahlreichen Grafiken/Screenshots. Den praktischen Anwendungen voraus geht eine profunde Einführung in die CSS1/2 zugrunde liegenden Grundkonzepten.
Oft machen die Lektüre und die eigenen Umsetzungsversuche traurig bis wütend, denn man erliest sich einerseits die vielfältigen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, erfährt aber immer auch sehr konkret und anschaulich, wie unfähig und teilweise absurd die Browser (v.a.D. NS 4.x) auf den Einsatz von CSS1 und CSS2 reagieren (und Meyer benennt die Fehler auch meist entsprechend deutlich).
Im Grunde ist dieses sehr praxisbezogene Buch eine einzige Tour des Leidens, aber durch die Art und Weise, wie Meyer schreibt, bekommt man doch immer wieder den Antrieb, nun endlich, Jahre nach deren offizieller Einführung mit Stylesheets arbeiten zu wollen.
Meinen deutschen Webdesigner-Kollegen, die des Amerikanischen einigermaßen mächtig sind, kann ich auf jeden Fall zur Anschaffung raten.
<Die Browserhersteller nehmen keine Rücksicht auf uns - warum nehmen wir Rücksicht und verzichten auf den Einsatz längst gültiger Standards?>

Musste mich jetzt schon mehrmals an CSS ranarbeiten, da ich leider wegen größerer Pausen zwischen den Webprojekten keine Arbeitsgewohnheiten aufbauen konnte. Hab deswegen immer wieder verschiedenste Literatur und Tutorials zum Thema durchgearbeitet. Dieses Buch sticht unter allen andere wegen seinem wohlabgestimmten Verhältnis von Information und Beispielen heraus. Es lässt nahezu (und das ist bei diesem großen Gebiet erstaunlich) kein Detail aus und bettet es in ein verständliches und ausfürhliches Lesematerial.
Zum eine ist es die Referenz schlechthin und zum anderen gut zu lesen. (X)HTML Kenntnisse werden aber unbedingt vorausgesetzt.
Fünf Sterne.

KT complained that the book would fail to "establish common vocabulary". I'd like to refute that:
The book starts with describing typographical conventions, followed by property conventions. Then the author defines types of elements. In the middle of the book, there's even a quick refresher that recaps important terms. Throughout the book, whenever a new term gets introduced (e.g. "float" or "containing block"), the author takes care to establish a firm definition.
As KT mentioned, this book is not for beginners. I'd rather call it a reference (or "the" reference). As such, the visual examples are reduced to a bare minimum so that the reader can easily spot how a particular stylesheet effects layout. Of course, if you need some inspiring suggestions how to pimp up you web page, look somewhere else. If you want to improve your proficiency in CSS to implement you own design idea in CSS, get this book.
lfastrup said, the book would not cover CSS2. That's not true for the second edition. The summary on the back of the book reads:"The definitive Guide completes the discussion of CSS2, explores CSS2.1, and introduces emerging elements of CSS3".
If you want a comprehensive information about CSS quoting the specs, explaining them, applying them in visual examples, mentioning intricacies and browser limitations, then this book is for you.

Habe bisher einige Werke deutscher Autoren durchgesehen, aber Erics CSS-Bibel ist unangefochten an Platz 1 und wird wohl auch dort bleiben! Man merkt, dass dieser Mann ein CSS-Guru ist!

This book is a perfect guide for those who want to write effective, maintainable and well structured HTML. CSS does have some nifty features, which you must read a book like this one to discover. The only downside is that it does not cover CSS2, it only provides an overview. CSS2 is very useful for styling XML documents, which I think he should have covered considering the recent publishing date of the book.

While all this information can be found online (which could be said about almost any web development language), the amount of attention paid to the subject is exceptional.
As with most O'Reilly books I own, I have never felt they were a waste of time or money. Finally, someone has done justice to a subject that should be at the forefront of every developers arsenal of web development tools.
I give lectures on web development and this is a subject that I stress to people over most others. The book is concise with very little fluff. It reads like a textbook.
Buy this book!

I was surprised when I first came across this book. Initially I assumed that that the subject would be too small to sustain a whole book but that's not the case.
There is a wealth of information in here about Cascading Style Sheets. Whilst it's true that there may be nothing here that searching the web can't elicit, it's so much more useful to have the information to hand that I'd certainly recommend it as a worthwhile purchase.
Since I always try to make the appearance of my web pages browser independent, I found the information on browser compatability particularly useful.

Lives up to its 'Definitive' Title
