Taking an interesting approach to writing a reference book for CSS and HTML, Michael Bowers writes a highly technical book where he breaks down CSS and HTML into predictable patterns and writes the book following a systematic approach in covering those discovered patterns.

If your looking for a more advanced CSS book, this one is definitely worth looking into.

As I have mentioned before in other reviews, I always like it when the author tells me up front who the target audience is. In this case, the first sentence in "What this book is not" states "This book is not an introduction to CSS." I like this type of straightforward notice. It definitely helps keep a novice from getting in over their head or a guru from getting bored.

GET IT GET IT GET IT! This is becoming my mantra for any book that I rate 4 stars and above. Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns is no different. I would buy this book again and again if I kept losing it that is how valuable this book is. In fact, I would buy two copies and stow one in a safe to quickly retrieve if I lost the other. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Most Web pros would agree that CSS is the most robust technology available for styling a website built with HTML. Yet in spite of the overwhelming positives of CSS, some of us haven't joined in this love-fest at the center of many Web design circles. Why could this be? Well most of the written material of CSS ignores the disparity between "CSS in theory" and "CSS in practice."
