Very very outdated.
This book is a very basic intro into CSS, pretty much only targeted to IE users (because, who uses anything else, right?! *hmpf!*) and I really struggle to try and find something nice to say about it after plowing through it all for 4 hours.
And if you're using Dreamweaver this whole book can be summarized in 5 pages
(or heck, let me try 1 line: open the CSS Rule definition box, adjust the value, and see what it does).
This book did not explain things clearly, and there was a lot of useless information to sift through.
For example: who on earth would want to use those very very ugly default image borders/bullets/horizontal lines in the first place (and the book says nothing at all about customizing those, which I think should be possible with CSS?? )
Also I really want to mention the website layout/design samples in the book,
text over a too busy background so that it becomes very hard to read: Bad!!
So, in short, stay away from this one, even if you can get it for free you're wasting your time.
