CSS: The Definitive Guide
$44.99
Eric Meyer is considered an authority on HTML and CSS issues and this book certainly demonstrates why. He takes every element of CSS and defines context and specifics with an amazing amount of detail, but supremely well organized so that it's actually readable in a conversational way rather than a textbook or reference book way.

If you are planning to regularly deal with ALL of the ramifications of designing web sites, this book is a must-have to provide a thorough foundation. If you only want to make a web page for something simple, or just once in your life, this may be too much information, but reading it may cause you to want to do more with your simple web page!

The book is dense with text and has relatively few diagrams, and some of the examples take some study to understand what they're trying to convey, but if you're a serious student of CSS, Meyer's text rewards you for your effort.

Build Your Own Website the Right Way Using HTML & CSS
$29.95
I'm now in Chapter 4, this book is very good, I'm graphic designer, and I think this book is the perfect complement. I used to made the websites using tables or photoshop "save for the web" But this put me in a next level.

Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide (2nd Edition)
$39.99
The title for this review says it all. Until I bought this book, I thought CSS In Easy Steps by Mike McGrath, was the best for understanding selectors and page layouts. After reading this book, I ordered his others on JavaScript and Coding for the Web and am now waiting for their delivery. I also recommend The CSS Anthology by Rachel Andrew. It contains a lot of specific How To's. Really, all three of these books have made learning CSS very painless and enjoyable.

Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML
$39.99
If you are new to HTML this is the book to get. I come from the print design world and many in my industry fear code like its an alien language, but its not. Its one of the funnest tools you'll ever be fortunate enough to use and this book presents it in a fun and easy way you will remember. Don't let its size scare you off either, you're getting your moneys worth and many of the pages are filled with fun little doodle exercises or word puzzles. If you need to know HTML you need this book.
