This book was darn handy while I was building this site, though this edition was published in 2001, so some of its recommendations on what to use or avoid seemed a bit out of date.

Update: I just found a copy of the 2nd edition on my desk yesterday. How long has that been there, I wonder?

Are you doing to post reviews of your books? Sorry, I can't write more of a comment because I have to get started typing in the 43-digit number that you require before I post.

Now let's see if you allow html tagsin comments...

Eric Meyer's CSS Pocket Reference sits on my book shelf right next to Pride and Prejudice. The two books are dog eared and stained from palm oil. They are frequently read and re-threaded. They are tools.

If you're a fan of the genre and desire to celebrate an entire catalog of good "CSS Lit", I might point you towards Zeldman's Designing with Web Standards. Although the plot is somewhat formulaic, I think you might find his manic attention to detail and rabid grandstanding quite quaffable.

Oh, and if you continue stealing my CSS code for your Knighty code-a-thons, you will leave me no choice but to hunt you down with color crayons and publicly shame you with my doodeling.

Someone must've just seen that film Sideways.
