Need recommendations for CSS book

[levseltzer]

I am looking to get a book on CSS, and wanted to know if anyone could recommend one. I have already picked up basic CSS on my own, but want to move to more advanced stages. I'd like to get a printed book so I can read it when I am not in front of the computer.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Wrox press is my favorite technical book company, way better than O'Reilly in my opinion, they have pretty talented writers and good case studies in their books, They have a professional CSS book you can find it here:
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...764588338.html

I like Core CSS by Keith Schengili-Roberts as a basic reference. Covers just about every css element and browser compatibility for each. Concise examples.

Anything by Eric Meyers is good. Particularly if you're looking for some of the more esoteric things. I like his "Eric Meyer on CSS: Mastering the Language of Web Design: More of a how-to - e.g. step by step how he built complicated example sites.

I picked up most of my CSS learning from by good buddy Google. Saves a trip to the store and you get all the hacks and examples you could want. They are also usually more current than books.

Some of the URLS I learned from examples on are:
http://glish.com/css/ (one of my favorites)
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#media-types (Excellent resource for media types)
http://www.csszengarden.com/
http://www.csszengarden.com/

And sites with good templates to start with and learn-by-example from are:
http://tools.i-use.it/index.aspx
http://intensivstation.ch/en/templates/
http://www.ssi-developer.net/main/templates/
