Hi
some people recommended me to have a book for CSS some thought the courses here are enough. What do you think? Are the courses here enough for learning CSS?

2,851 PointsTreehouse has a very extensive library on CSS, so I think it should be enough for most people :) A book isn't necessary, since the internet has almost infinite resources on CSS (and almost every other language) freely available.
Not that a good book would hurt, of course :)

The real test to see if you are ready is if you can create:
- menus
- buttons
- ribbons
- tool tips
- pricing tables
- forms
Here's a great test to know if you proficient in CSS is if you can re-create this entire page
If you don't know how to make those in CSS, I'd suggest you check out the relevant videos from this CSS course
