Amazon.com Review
Steve Mulder tackles style sheets in depth. He shows you how to use them and what you can expect in both support and pitfalls from the leading Web browsers. Mulder writes with an engaging style far removed from the dry technical tone of too many how-to computer books--even as he walks step-by-step through the entire style sheet syntax. Along the way he offers helpful tips to improve your Web design skills. The result is feeling that you've had a good friend come over to help you out. A companion Web site keeps you up to date on browser support as well as providing all the examples and code from the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Waaay out of date,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Designer's Guide to Style Sheets (Paperback)
I guess I goofed when I ordered it. I'm a web designer and I should have known that the 1997 publish date would make this book essentially useless. The book, in 1997 terms, is just fine. The problem is, is that it's mainly good as a historical reference in 1999. I'm surprised it's in print. CSS is something we should all learn, but all the references to what might be coming in Internet Explorer 4 made me a little crazy. In 1997 this book should probably have 5 stars. In 1999, 3 is generous. MUCH more useful are the little CSS sections in HTML, The Definitive Guide, 3rd ed. (Musciano & Kennedy, from O'Reilly) and Web Design in a Nutshell (Jennifer Niederst, also O'Reilly). Sorry. I sent this one back to Amazon.com.

Great book but...,
By mconnoll@fcg.net (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Web Designer's Guide to Style Sheets (Paperback)
This is a great book but there is no CD that is advertised and the companion website no longer exsists. I try and make a point to buy computer books that come with one or the other or both. If someone knows of a new URL that accompanies this book please let me know.

The best style-sheet reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Designer's Guide to Style Sheets (Paperback)
I went into this book knowing almost nothing about style-sheets. Before I had to copy other people's code. I read the book in about three-days and after that I could fluently write style-shhets without the book!
