Can you guys recommend me a good CSS book?

Hi all, I really love learning at Treehouse, and will continue to do so, but I feel that with books, I can learn things faster and go more at my rhythm. So I am looking for a great CSS book (mainly for a beginner), but don't know witch one to choose, there are so many out there! I'd really like to hear some suggestions.

Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed Jon Duckett's "HTML & CSS". The book is extremely well written with a logical flow and it's use of typography and graphic design to reinforce content is second to none. His "Javascript & JQuery" book is excellent as well. Both also come with well organized examples for download which allow you to work along with the 'lessons' in the book. I've found both the aforementioned sources and their downloadable content to be an excellent primer and reference to go along with the Treehouse tracks.
