Fantastic book. Highly recommend This is a superbly written book that i would highly recommend to any developer, even veterans developers.
The book shows you excellent best practice and efficient approaches to common design techniques. I've built many websites and used CSS alot and i took so much away from this book.

His approaches for fluid designs are particularly smart and I loved working through the examples and using the examples myself. A must-own book if you have any interest in web-design.
