Guide Review - Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide
There are many books on Cascading Style Sheets available, with lots of things to offer. But this book is a good all-around reference book. Keep in mind that it's not like the O'Reilly "in a nutshell" books - it's meant to be more than just a basic reference on CSS. But since it's laid out the way that you work with the properties, it's easy to use and reference information about a property as you're working.
