General Description
A 500-page book consisting of 4 parts and two appendices, containing 16 chapters. The book contains many HTML and CSS code snippets, as well as images (results of code execution). Before each chapter, there is always a list of what will be discussed in the current chapter, and at the end of chapters - a brief summary.

Opinion
My notes that I wrote for this book amount to about 22 pages. I won't say that all the information there is absolutely new - rather, on the contrary, most of it I already knew well. However, this book - it's a good resource to refresh your memory and patch holes in CSS knowledge. Considering how swiftly CSS is developing and how browsers release and implement new CSS properties every year, and sometimes even every month, you're unlikely to find a book that is always current. In that case, CSS books - they are not the source or format of study that will keep you up to date with the latest developments. But if you love reading books (including programming books) and just want to learn CSS, then I quite recommend this book.
