3,128 PointsBest HTML/CSS books?
Making my way through the HTML courses and would love to have a physical book for reference. Any of the more experienced folks have good suggestions? I came across HTML & CSS: Design & Build Websites. It looks pretty and easy to understand, but is 3 years old. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I would also recommend CSS3 & HTML5 foundations, both of which are part of a treehouse series but very good for developing knowledge of the latest versions of each language.
