What is the opinion here about this book for learning to do CSS well?  Way off topic, I guess, but I'm certain a few or more of you here know something about this.

I've done extensive work with CSS, XHTML, and DOM scripting, and I haven't purchased a single book - I find that the internet resources for syntax and built-in functions and free tutorials on various techniques that people have written (some more high quality than others, but I have never failed to find a good tutorial for what I've been interested in.) more than suffice.  However, if you're really looking to get a unified, extensive lesson, that book looks as good as any.

Thanks, o_b.  Do you have any certain resource or a group of resources over any other, which you find have consistently helped you more than any other?

Here's a quick list:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com - Good for introductory tutorials and examples.
http://www.w3schools.com/ - Has boatloads of tutorials and also includes a full CSS property reference.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ - Contains lots of good tutorials on advanced CSS, DOM, and AJAX scripting.
http://www.google.com/ - Contains an index of several billion pages and uses an advanced algorithm to search for the best and most popular ones matching your search terms ;).  Great for looking up specific techniques and example scripts.
