Amazon.com Review

If you want to learn how to take greater control of your Web pages with cascading style, you can't go to a more authoritative source than Hakon Wium Lie and Bert Bos, the creators of this versatile tool. They show you step-by-step how to use cascading style sheets to create type displays in ways that were previously available only for traditional print--altering the color, boldness, font, and placement however you choose. The authors use simple examples for demonstrations and also include samples of gorgeous (and amusing) Web typography to show what's possible and to serve as a springboard for your own ideas. The authors present much that will be inspiring even to seasoned Web designers.

From Library Journal

Cascading style sheets (CSS) were developed by Lie and Bos for the World Wide Web Consortium to provide authors with the tools to manage the aesthetics of web site design. For now, they are not in wide distribution and only the most recent browsers can make use of them. But those who spend a weekend with this book will recognize their importance and become converts. Those who have to deal with a great deal of information for many sources and make sure it all looks good and consistent will see that CSS is an elegant answer. And this book is the best introduction to the next innovation on the web.

A solid introduction to Style Sheets

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 1997

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent introduction to Style Sheets, the ways they are supposed to be implemented, and the logic behind them. There's little wasted space, just solid, useful information.
Each chapter focuses on a specific element or elements in an HTML document and how CSS alows one to alter the appearance of the elements. In general, the chapters are clear and concise, though the chapter on fonts and text formatting is a bit overwhelming. There are useful examples provided that are very helpful.

The only flaw in this book is that more examples of complex pages were needed, and the final chapters are largely focused on the future, tips, and miscellanea. More examples would have been appreciated.

I found this an excellent introduction to Style Sheets, despite some flaws. Well worth the price for any Webmaster wnating to stay knowledgeable.

(Almost) exactly what I needed.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 1998

Without a doubt, all the information I wanted is here. Some additional features I would have liked--a pull-out reference card more comprehensive than the backpanel treatment, and an easy-to-find discussion of the current state of compatibility in the popular browsers. That said, it's given me a good start on my CSS-based pages.

A definite compendium of all CSS elements, but....

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 1999

This will teach any webmaster how creating one CSS master sheet will make your whole site distinctive, but anybody who is on the learning track of HTML will be totally confused.
