If you make web pages, you must have this book. No exceptions.

If you do CSS, you need this. Still, the religious element is too high—pretending that CSS is something independent of how browsers actually display it, and speaking of "standards" as something normative.
LibraryThing member RicDay
A must-have for anyone who does serious work with style sheets. This edition stops at css2.1
