Another 5 star review April 13, 2008
Not being a Web Designer but a Web Developer doing ASP.Net, I can produce working web sites but they would never be described as "cool" and I thought I just didn't have the ability to create great looking sites - Until now.
After doing an Open university course which peaked my interest in client side web design and CSS, this book shows you how to style and layout your web pages and make them accessible to everyone. You can work through the bite size chapters and by the end of the book you are putting together all the pieces to create a 2 and 3 column flexible layout.
This is great for a beginner and for those who already know CSS.
 Great Book! January 1, 2008
This is a great book. It's very simple to understand even for the beginner and explains things very clearly with clear examples. The only worry for me would be the fact that it might be a bit outdated in places due to the fact that it was published in 2004. Otherwise, great buy!
This book will definately NOT gather dust on your shelf! September 15, 2007

This is a popular book in our studio providing a sound foundation of best practices for CSS & XHTML web design. In a similar way to The CSS Anthology, this book asks a question, such as, "What is the best way to mark up a numbered list of items?" or "How can I use CSS to replace text with an image?" However, this book really becomes it's own, by proceeding to suggest 3 or 4 methods with clear and concise examples, before summarising with the pro's and con's of each method.
It's sectioned into chapters including lists, headings, forms, tables and layouts with the familiar Friends of Ed thumb-indexing for quick and easy access. This is one of those books that you'll keep on your desk for regular reference rather than gather dust on your shelf.
A Breath of Fresh Air September 6, 2007
As a supplement to Dan Cederholm's "Web Standards Solutions" book, I have bought and read his companion volume - "Bulletproof Web Design". Unlike most books that I have seen on web design, they do not contain compendia of HTML/XHTML/CSS statements, but a rational and thoughtful collection of ideas, insights, theory and practical techniques. I am now confident that I can start to build web sites of my own that have a sound foundation for their implementation, are well-structured and accessible.
I recommend these books most highly.
One of his two must-have books July 31, 2007

This book, along with Dan's Bulletproof Web Design, was recommended to me as a great start into the world of standards compliant CSS+XHTML web design. It is written in a very easy to understand style and has real nuggets on every page. I went from zero to a strong understanding of the basics within a few days using it. I recommend this book all the time.
