A simple basic introduction to people new to CSS. If you're still using tables for most of your work, then this is a great book to start with as you transition to CSS.
Very cool! Let me know what you think! I had ordered it knowing CSS already, so aside from the disappointment of not really learning anything new, I thought it was a pretty good intro book.
Dan's newest book Bulletproof Web Design is also fantastic, especially if you've mastered the basics. From there, I recommend CSS Mastery by Andy Budd. Both are in the group book list, I believe.
Thanks, Stephen, I read both when they came out. What I'd really like to see is something even more advanced than what's on the group list. :o) I've almost given up on CSS books, because they always seem to cover things I already know.
Personally, since I've mastered CSS, I've been looking more into interaction and web design as well as focusing more on Accessibility. Books like About Face 2.0, Transcending CSS and Web Accessibility are excellent. That being said, I think it's important to keep up with industry related literature on things like CSS to keep the skills fresh.
Good for you that you "mastered CSS". I'm sure you are different, but so far whenever I've met someone who claimed to master something they really didn't know much at all. Anyway, you might want to keep that in mind when you offer your services. :-)
For "interaction design", I have found most books pretty disappointing. Typically they are full of technical details that really are rather basic common sense (or dull standard details that no browser implements as described anyway).
Something like the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/">Yahoo Design Pattern Library</a> on the other hand is tremendously interesting. It is a start on something like Christopher Alexander's Pattern Language book for web design.
