Excellent CSS book
This was a great CSS 2.0 book for me. I liked the presentation style and found it relatively easy to consume. The only thing I've noticed to me missing so far is a real review of fixed width layouts. I wish he would do the 3-column layout in Chapter 8 as fixed width as well as fluid. This is my first CSS 2.0 book and my opinion may change a little as I learn more, but I still think it's a good starter book if you're fairly web savvy.
I'm now reading (well, skipping around in)
Eric Meyer on CSS and it is interesting to see the differences. The Meyer book was published in 2002 versus Cederholm's summer 2005 book, which makes it more current for hacks and browser-specific stuff. However, Meyer also seems to feel less need to get into that level of specifics regarding browser inconsistenciesinitialnital impression is also that Meyer is less concerned aaccessibilityility than Cederholm. Why do I say that? Meyer is specifying type in pixels whereas Cederholm dedicates a whole chapter to text flexibility and specs his type with keywords and percentages. More when I review
