    • My Thoughts
    I really enjoyed this book and use this book on a regular basis. I think this book is more geared for the designer and should be in the bookself of any modern web designer. It is an easy read and the case studies are very useful. While this book doesn’t go into super detail on everything it does cover all the bases and is a good primer for learning about CSS.
