Not a bad book, listing various techniques in web development that accomplish "Progressive Enhancement" design pattern. Most of the suggestions and techniques for the HTML and CSS sections are pretty straight forward so I didn't pick up anything new there. I was happy that the author included microformats since they are hardly ever used yet with wider adoption could be quite useful.
The JavaScript section was more helpful and the final chapter on accessibility was very good.
Overall a good book to pick up to learn about Progressive Enhancement. I find that a lot of developers don't know about these techniques and as a result the web suffers.

Great content, and a good read if you are new to progressive enhancement, but there's nothing revolutionary here if you've been keeping up. Ultimately, it's just another book that says, "Our previous design philosophies were misguided; here are our new best practices."
