I worked with this book for about 4 days over the holidays playing with CSS. When it initially arrived, I was suprised that it was only about 1/2' thick. The first two chapters are basically a recap of CSS at the upper /intermediate level.
I really wouldnt recommend this book for someone that wants to learn CSS, but rather, this book should be used for those who are looking for a reference on how to deal with specific browser issues( especially IE ) and CSS.
There are two major issues that I do have with this book. One, the author tosses out bits and pieces of CSS source code, but never includes the source code in its entirety. You can, of course, download the complete source code from the authors site. The problem with this is that if you have the full source, but the book only explains specific elements, you may become lost when viewing the full source.
Second, I belive that the author could have included more detailed information on real world problems when dealing with visual layouts. For example, CSS has nifty features like being able to place a border around a box, something that you have to do with spacers when using tables. However, coming from a table based layout world, you can split a table in half, and in the bottom right column stick in a footer that will 'float' with the contents of the left column, something that seems to be a bit of a challenge to do. Yes, maybe I need to go back a step and find another book that details this information, but from the books description, I came to believe that these types of scenarios would be discussed.
Nearly every page of the book deals with CSS and how IE needs a hack to display properly. It almost makes the reader feel over consumed by the fact that CSS is just lovely, but 'I' need to keep a complete journal on everything to include to make CSS work with IE. Actually, the author should just come out with a pocket reference book named 'The Complete CSS Hacks Pocket Reference' - that nearly sums up what this book is about.
Ill probably stick this book on the shelf, as I know it will come in handy at some point when dealing with specific problems that I may encounter with CSS and those pesky IE issues. Overall, the book should simply be named 'How to make IE display CSS properly' rather than CSS Mastery.

我已经在这本书的指导下工作了4天，整个假期都在和css打交道。我刚看到这本书时，我很惊讶它只有半英寸厚。前两章基本上是在中高级层面上回顾css。
说真的，我并不推荐用这本书来学习css，这本书更应该用来当一本参考书，当你进行web开发（尤其是基于IE）时，随用随查。
关于这本书，有两点我需要指出。第一，作者在引用css时只引用代码片断，而不是完整的引用。当然，你可以去作者的网站上下载源码。但问题是，你拥有完整的代码，而作者在书中只解释特定的部分，那么你就可能在面对完整代码时感到迷惑。
第二，我相信作者在处理表现层时已经包含了更多的细节信息，这些信息是来自开发实践中出现的问题。比如
