    I'm looking to move on from basic HTML and learn CSS for formatting web sites.
    I am familar with some CSS tags but have only used a few in my sites.

    O'Reilly.com lists The CSS Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks at number 24 in its Top 25 sellers.

    Reviews I've read sound good and the sample chapters I downloaded seem good too.

    Anyone have and recommend this book? Does one outgrow it quickly?

    [Ordering direct from sitepoint.com works out about the same price, 37 euro, as getting it from Amazon.co.uk, with the publisher throwing in a CSS Quick Reference poster for free, worth $10]

    Never heard of that book. I recommend the following for improving your CSS and becoming standards savvy:

    Designing with Web Standards (author: Jeffrey Zeldman, pub: New Riders. A must read imo)
    Eric Meyer on CSS (author: guess! pub New Rider)
    More Eric Meyer on CSS (as above)
    Web Standards Solutions (author: Dan Cederholm, pub: Friends of)
    CSS The Definitive Guide (author: Eric Meyer, pub: O Reilly)

    This is how I learned CSS:

    - I pretty much dissected as many examples on www.csszengarden.com as I could.
    - And I used http://www.htmldog.com/reference/cssproperties/ as a reference.

    :)
