(this is part of the problem with the index, actually) By this I mean that the things thrown together under a heading don't always fit logically together. Some things are thoroughly covered multiple times. Others are covered in bits and pieces strewn throughout. Some things are skimmed.- Finding the explanation on the thing you are seeking can be quite troublesome, especially if you don't recall the proper name or spelling.- The exercises waste far too many pages. I don't see why they are even in the book, honestly. The content to play with is online, and the tutorials could be, too. The examples in the main description sections seem fine, so why not offload those tutorials? This would reduce the pages to sift through as well as make the index more concise.- Some useful things are barely covered.Bad out of the way, on to the good:+ Most of the most useful stuff about CSS is covered. (The best explanations are for things changed from 2.1 to 3)+ The explanations are quite good. Even those things only mentioned once in a rather inappropriate section can usually be understood from that. (The trouble in the book is locating the information you want, not using it once you have) A few things require you to hunt down the various pieces related to get the whole picture, but each part is understandable. (at least, so far)If you need to understand CSS3, I know of no better books to explain it.CSS-Tricks has some articles that surpass some of this, but not all and you still need some idea of what terms to search for, there, too. (That's the best website I can recommend for learning CSS; If you are considering this book, you really ought to become familiar with that site.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great book for people with a little background looking to become proficient *by #***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2013* Thoroughly covers a wide range of topics in clear language, not overly dense and complex, but not dumbed down and verbose like the "for dummies" series. it contains enough information in it that you're getting you money's worth (which is a complaint I have with many beginner's books -- that they're just an intro but don't give enough room to grow).I think it's a good balance of clarity and conciseness and breadth vs. depth; works well for people who are technically savvy and have a little general background on CSS but no real experience using it. The author mentions in the beginning that he assumes the reader has some HTML knowledge (which I have, from years ago).I'd recommend this to anyone who has a little background on HTML who's looking to get into using CSS, whether you want to go through the book from start to finish and work on all the exercises and experiment until you know it well, or just flip through looking for the topics you're interested in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for those new to CSS3... *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2013* I've been in the 'learning' process for HTML5 and CSS3 for about four months now - I'm an old print guy who would like to move projects to the web. So I first bought the Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 Classroom in a Book so that I could find my way around using it as an editor and then I bought the 4th edition of Jennifer Robbins' "Learning Web Design" and she recommends this book for more CSS3 experience - and she was spot-on in the recommendation. I've also purchased the "HTML5 Cookbook" that O'Reilly has and feel that I'm, at least, at an intermediate level now - thanks to all of these treasures (yes, all purchased from Amazon).It may take me another year and one-half to get my website up and running - I wouldn't say that you should expect miracles just by going over the exercises in these books - but I'm able to 'do' more - and 'understand' more about what CSS3 is capable of because of this book.Five stars for being both thorough and easy to understand. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3606107-css3-the-missing-manual](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3606107-css3-the-missing-manual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
