Yesterday I was at the post office to pick up my latest package from Amazon. This time I’ve ordered a great well-known best-seller written by Andy Budd, Cameron Moll and Simon Collison called CSS Mastery - Advanced Web Standards Solutions.

The book is assigned mostly to experienced web designers who would like to learn some advanced CSS techniques, but I believe that it is also good for novice web designers who are already playing with (X)HTML and CSS. As the covers says, we find the following inside of the book:

The latest CSS tips, tricks, and techniques; An in-depth guide to browser bugs, hacks and filters; Inspirational case study projects from two of the world’s greatest CSS masters

It sounds good isn’t it? I believe that it is good! I’ve started reading this already on yesterday evening, but it was too late and I was so tired that I must to stop it. Today I read a few pages a while ago and I must admit that on those few pages I learned a lot of new things. For example, now I know what “CSS Specificity” is and how it works. Did you ever heard about it? No? Then order this great book and start reading it like me.

This time I must also admire Amazon.com for their great services and fast delivery. I’ve also ordered another web design related book (Bulletproof Web Design) which was (and I think still is) available only to pre-order and they have divided the shipment to 2 pieces, so I got my CSS Mastery book immediately without waiting to Bulletproof Web Design being available to order.

Here are some photos of the book I have taken:
