Oh no! I spent all that time learning CSS and weaving my tortuous path through many a messed up website, until I finally figured out what works and what doesn't...at least for me. Now Andrew and Yank come along (yeah, I know...sounds like a comedy team) and tell me I've got it wrong? Egad! But wait! There's hope. After all, of the hundreds and hundreds of CSS books and other resources out there, how can a single book containing a mere 116 pages rewrite everything that came before it? That's what we're here to find out.

The problem is, the development process resembled urban sprawl. Sure, the workarounds and hacks managed to work, but they were rather ugly and convoluted. What this book proposes to do is to help "reinvent" (where have I heard that before?) CSS to accomplish web page styling in a much easier to learn way.
