Rachel Andrew is a veritable guru in CSS. Her solutions are simple, effective, up to date, and best practice. The CSS Anthology is great to have on hand whenever you're writing in CSS. While some of the topics are elementary, even veteran web designers will learn new things. If you want to enhance your arsenal of CSS knowledge, you can't go wrong with this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Description is not accurate
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
The item description is not correct. This is not as much a fault of Amazon.com, as it is Sitepoint - the publisher of the book. If you are thinking you will be receiving a full-colored book, you will be disappointed. The only color this book contains is on the covers. The entire text and body of the book is in black and white. The book is not "published in full color" as the description states. The remedy of this by Sitepoint (the publisher of the book) is for you to ship it back to Amazon for a refund, even though they are the ones providing the inaccurate description to Amazon. I will never purchase a book from Sitepoint again, given they cannot maintain accurate descriptions of what they are selling. The description is inaccurate on their website, and on Amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat amateurish and still talks about IE 4 and IE 5
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2010
Verified Purchase
The examples in this book seems like good material for a 2-year college class, but not very suited for production level.

Also, the book is published in mid 2009 and still talks about IE 4 and 5. Oh well...

And the important DOCTYPE discussion? It is discussed on page 233, near the end of the book. Wouldn't it be very important to talk about it at the very beginning of the book? For example, if your CSS doesn't work, maybe the root cause is in the DOCTYPE? So shouldn't it be discussed in Chapter 1 or the Intro?

And talking about the important ordering of specifying link's pseudo classes: L V H A (link, visited, hover, active), the author didn't mention "focus", to make the order complete: L V H F A.

Also, the author published this book since 2004, and now she is publishing another book called "Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong!" It is fairly conflicting to choose titles like that.

It is hard to justify this book as a 4.5 star book. Maybe a 3 star.

Sitepoint always has good materials from my experience. This covers many of the basic and not-so-basic parts of CSS that are needed to complete a well-designed website using CSS for styling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ask Felgall - Book Review
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2011
This is an extremely useful "reference" book for anyone who already has at least a basic knowledge of CSS. It isn't a reference to CSS commands though, it is a reference to CSS problems and their solutions. Broken up into chapters covering Text Styling,Images, Navigation, Tabular Data, Forms, Cross Browser Techniques, Accessibility, and Positioning, this book provides a practical guide to resolving all of the most common problems confronting anyone with an intermediate level of CSS knowledge. You don't have to remember all the tips and tricks to using CSS because you can easily find the answers to all the more common problems in this book.

I can think of a few more advanced problems where the CSS solutions are not found in the book but you'd need the book to be many times the size that it is if it were to try to provide all the answers to people's CSS problems and many of the problems that are not covered would only occur rarely. The book deals with this in the most appropriate way by providing advice on how to track down solutions to the problems that the book doesn't cover in addition to all of the detailed solutions that the book contains.

The book deals with the CSS that browsers currently support with the current edition having been updated to make sure that it correctly covers the latest browsers. Since the latest version of all browsers now effectively cover all of CSS 2.1 the current edition will continue to be useful as the older browsers for which it supplies workarounds are slowly phased out.

This is a very useful book for someone with a basic knowledge of CSS. It is full of examples which can be picked up and used at any time. I started using it straight away. Easy to read for a non technical person. I am very pleased with this book.
