Solid primer on CSS and some of the new CSS3 rules. I disagree on a few points in the early chapters, such as the acceptability of leaving off trailing semicolons on CSS rules; if you use any compression or minify of your CSS files, this will result in broken files. Otherwise, a solid recap of CSS basics, with a very light dusting of 2d and 3d transforms, font options, and a few other CSS3 features.
Clear and straightforward introduction and survey of Cascading Style Sheets v3 tools and techniques. Programmers and designers who are stepping up from CSS2 must read this book.
