I highly recommend it for everyone concerned with CSS.
I must add that you will have to follow the fast updates on each browser adaptation of attributes in all cases.

The books is very fundamental to any web developer trying to learn CSS3 without having to go through the hassle of constant internet sourcing.

A must have if you need to pick up on the CSS3 coding and how each part functions a lot easier than the online tutorials.

Missing apostrophes and lots of typos are inexcusable in any book. Otherwise I'd have given it five stars. I learnt a lot, as the info is very detailed and clear to follow. Warning - I was reading the first edition, and it's out of date in parts.
