The best CSS book I have come across, so far.
It offers an in-depth understanding of how CSS works, starting from the very basics and continuing with more advanced topics, including: optimisations, good coding principles, ways to handle various media types (web,mobile,printing, for people with disabilities) and some historical context in the for of what, when and why . I just loved those "brief histories" included in every section. If you want a basic CSS book with examples, try to find something else. If you want a book that looks into CSS into depth, then this is the book that you are looking for.

May already be obsolete, but goes through a lot of the more esoteric css that is necessary for print, mobile, and written at a time transitioning from CSS2 to CSS3.
