Ebooks for CSS?

Does anyone have suggestions on ebooks for reading about CSS? I really want to be comfortable with CSS, I know that will come from applying more than reading.

Cheers! Alex

HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites by. Jon Duckett is a very good book to pick up. I have the hardcopy but I'm sure if you google it, you will find an ebook source.

CSS: The Missing Manual by David Sawyer McFarland CSS Master by Tiffany B Brown CSS Secrets: Better Solutions to Everyday Web Design Problems by Lea Verou

I recommend reading online documentation and testing the examples: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS (thorough and in depth) http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp (simple to practice and reference)

This is pretty funny actually! I looked up the answer to your question on Amazon, and found this: http://www.amazon.com/CSS3-Foundations-Treehouse-Book-Lunn-ebook/dp/B00AHJNTF2/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1460494005&sr=1-3&keywords=css3

Explanation: This is a Kindle/Ebook about CSS3 Foundations written by our very own Treehouse company here!

There are many books on Amazon, if you just enter "CSS3" in the search, different options pop up. I'm sure you can find alternate ways of purchasing Ebooks though, not necessarily through Amazon.

And here's another... This one isn't Treehouse, but it's by Dave MacFarland, who is or used to be a teacher through Treehouse. It's called "CSS3: The Missing Manual."
