Here are some the many excellent books on the list:
I wish this book had been available to me years ago when I was learning
CSS. It is an excellent book for getting an initial grounding in the use
of CSS. I would therefore recommend it to all starting out with
HTML/CSS.
It is not a complete manual of CSS but it does provide
the essential initial understanding. Any IT team wishing to retrain
people into web applications, should use this book as a first step in
the training process. By following the exercises, any developer should
get the initial experience in the use of CSS to style HTML.
There
are some typographic errors acknowledged in the errata and the
published would be well advised to produce a corrected edition.
