I'd recommend the Definitive Guide to CSS, by Eric Meyer (you can't  
go wrong with Eric Meyer). I haven't read all the way through it, but  
it's aimed towards those learning CSS:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596005253/ (CSS: The Definitive Guide)

However, I have read his excellent New Riders books, for when you've  
got the basics down. He walks you through dozens of projects, with  
practical examples, advice, and tips throughout:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/073571245X/ (Eric Meyer on CSS)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735714258/ (More Eric Meyer on CSS)

Good luck!

2006-01-06 Thread Arnold, Tim
I really enjoyed the new WROX Press book "Professional CSS Cascading
Style Sheets for Web Design" (ISBN 0-7645-8833-8)  Along with best
practices for XHTML and CSS, there were some interesting case studies
(Blogger.com, ESPN.com, Fastcompany.com) followed by interviews with the
designers responsible for them.

Have Fun!
Tim

Welcome to the list.  You'll find a great deal of information about CSS and 
it's practical uses in the CSS-D Wiki [1].  Especially check the section on 
"Learning" .  There is a section on Books there.

A google on css + books [2] returns a large number of resources.  In 
addition to Dan Cederholm's books, you should also consider any of the books 
by Eric Meyer.  Especially "Cascading Style Sheets, the definitive guide" 
(second edition).

Best regards

I keep giving out the Dan Cederholm books to new guys here: Web
Standards Solutions and Bulletproof CSS. Both are great step by step
introductions to all the tweaks and hooks.

I added them to the WIKI some time ago, too:
