Book Overview (from the publisher)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were designed to deal with issues that HTML cannot handle. CSS is a powerful, flexible way to specify HTML formatting. It lets you separate the style and layout of your HTML files from their content, allowing you to control the layout, e.g. fonts, colors, leading, margins, typefaces, and other aspects of style, of a Web document without compromising its structure.

Dan Shafer's book is the definitive guide to learning and applying the principles of CSS to your Website.
