I have a good collection of “missing manual” books. But as much as I like the series, I let each book stand on its own merit. I am familiar with David Sawyer McFarland and also have “CSS: The Missing Manual.” My most indispensable book, however, is HTML5: The Missing Manual by Matthew MacDonald. I am just now diving into this book and trying the examples. But it looks like a very worthwhile acquisition. I am not that fluent in CSS3, but with the help of this book and a little pilfering of code, I hope to be. I suggest that this book is a good addition, even if you feel that you know it all, as it may explain something in a new light. I did not have any earlier editions to tell what was improved or corrected. While CSS3 is still the official version, the way CSS evolves has changed. Instead of releasing CSS4 or CSS5, the W3C now updates CSS through individual modules, each with its own level and versioning. So technically, we’re using CSS beyond CSS3, even though it’s not labeled that way.
