Recently I purchased Transcending CSS by Andy Clarke. Andy has been involved in web design for over ten years, runs his own design studio and contributes in many web standards workshops and conferences all around the world.

Transcending CSS by Andy Clarke

I really think Andy has created a excellent book which is very motivating and inspirational. This book is really well presented with beautiful images inspiring your design thoughts, challenges you to create cutting edge CSS layouts with accessibility and degrading gracefully with older browsers with less CSS support, challenges you not to use hacks and filters in your CSS code providing practical alternatives, and creates an enthusiasm to create better websites than you have ever done before regardless of your skill level.

You will also learn to truly separate visual design from layout and use the power of CSS to create rich semantically structured design that conforms to web standards. Transcending CSS gives you practical processes to streamline your design time and implement time saving techniques developed by professionals in the industry in a real studio environment.

Not really a book for beginners who are still working with table layouts or wanting to learn CSS, but those who have some basic knowledge of CSS and have designed websites, or for advanced CSS users who want to set higher standards in their work.

If your passionate about CSS then you can’t go past this book. I already have a few books on CSS in my bookshelf and this is my pick of the bunch to date.

Edit: As of the 1st of January 2007 this book was listed as No 6 on Amazon’s bestselling book about Scripting and Programming.

My recommendation is to take a look at Aaron Wall’s SEO Book. Aaron has to be one of the best know SEO guru’s in the search engine community and has the best ebook ever teaching many of the tips and tricks of search engine optimisation.
