Review: This is THE best book I've read regarding Web Standards... The examples are simple and practical... I've found myself using many of the suggestions offered for various aspects of web design.Dan makes things understandable and presents different ways of solving common design problems... everything from the most common solution to the most efficient solution... best of all, you'll understand why the solution is the most efficient.

Summary: Simple, solid, practical
Review: Unlike many other authors, Cederholm doesn't try to evangelise the readers about standards, he limit himself to simple, solid, practical advices. The material inside the book isn't very advanced or sophisticated, but it remains very relevant and can help developers getting out of bad and outdated coding practices.

Summary: useful and practical book for newly converted CSS believers
Review: very useful and practical book on CSS-based layouts. it compares alternative ways to 'markup' (write your html) and to 'style' (write your css). what i love about it is that it presents the pros and cons of each real-world methods, then you'll be able to figure out which is best for your specific purposes. and makes you smarter for next time.
most methods presented are the right way to do it, while few are hacks, but it'll tell which is which. an easy read, the kind you can jump from one chapter to another. infact so easy i finished half the book before i got it to the cashier (oops, sorry i didn't order online).
who is this book for? probably not ideal if you're not yet a believer of web standards. not for experts, as they may have read the same material when it was discusses in the author's site simplebits.com. but most suitable for those who just converted to CSS tableless design and curious to know exactly how others are doing it.
