Rating:  - The Pinnacle of CSS Books
As a long time user of CSS, I figured I would pick up a few gems from reading CSS Mastery. I was dumbfounded when it seemed to lift the wool from my eyes and shake up the way I analyzed CSS related tasks. Andy Budd is a CSS god and proves it with his clear and concise examples and explanations. Anyone that works with CSS on a regular basis is doing themselves a disservice by not reading CSS Mastery.

This is actually the FIRST promgramming-related book i've ever purchased from my own free will. As a programmer and graphic designer, everything I have learnt with CSS has been self-taught from all the great tutorials and CSS sites plastered over the web.
Now, I am a pretty good CSS developer, but upon opening the first chapter I knew straight away, this book will sharpen my skills more than what i thought possible. I thought to myself intially, I hope this isn't a book written by a bunch of old, boring people who don't have a clue about cutting edge techinques with web 2.0 (i know, i know, it's only a term) and that they wouldnt cover things like CSS hacks, workarounds, etc.
Oh was I wrong. This book is written by people who are the behind the cutting edge designs we are inspired by today and cover topics from the box model to hacks and workarounds commonly practised today.
I can't go into too much detail because believe me, there is too much to cover. But seriously, CSS Mastery is one helluva book. I gave it an easy 5.
Rating: - Great book for intermediate users
I bought this book just looking for some tips on things to do and not do with my CSS, and for that purpose, it delivered perfectly. The pages are filled with useful bits that cover basic and pretty advanced topics in CSS. Best of all, there are a lot of snippets with useful hacks to make code work cross-browser.
If you are a self-taught web developer/designer, I would definately recommend this book.

This is a great book if you need to know more than just the basics of CSS. It gives you a lot of inspiration and tips in order to improve your existing CSS knowledge. You'll probably want to try all the examples on your own website and see how small things can improve your user's experience.
A must have if you're planning to move your "so-so" website to a "bling-bling" website.
