Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design (Voices That Matter)
Andy Clarke, Molly E. Holzschlag
New Riders Press, 2006
Good advice for the intermediate/advanced designer
Transcending CSS is a book that, as it explains in its opening, isn't intended as a basic overview of CSS. It assumes a solid base of knowledge, and if you have that, the book can be extremely beneficial.
