Good book...lack of online material
The book is well written and was useful for my college course. One issue I had was that not all the download material from the authors website was made available. The first five chapters were online but all the remaining were missing. I tried to use the online form at the website twice in a ten week period to contact the author and never got a response.

To much price not enough information
I needed it for school so I had to buy it but I opened it once and since then have found way better refrences off the internet. its not a bad book just expensive for not that much info.

dont bother
the book is very rectangular, not just landscaped view. makes it unusable for tight spaces like reading on the train. it reads like a very dry dated mechanical manual. like reading through a html/css glossary rather than getting a vibrant learning experience. its a Flop & Fail. there are many better books on html5 and css3.

Good Book
This was a great book and I am happy I came across it at the bookstore. I like the graphics that explain concepts such as z-index other types of positioning.
