I guess I goofed when I ordered it. I'm a web designer and I should have known that the 1997 publish date would make this book essentially useless. The book, in 1997 terms, is just fine. The problem is, is that it's mainly good as a historical reference in 1999. I'm surprised it's in print. CSS is something we should all learn, but all the references to what might be coming in Internet Explorer 4 made me a little crazy. In 1997 this book should probably have 5 stars. In 1999, 3 is generous. MUCH more useful are the little CSS sections in HTML, The Definitive Guide, 3rd ed. (Musciano & Kennedy, from O'Reilly) and Web Design in a Nutshell (Jennifer Niederst, also O'Reilly). Sorry. I sent this one back to Amazon.com.
