Zen of CSS

I just finished the new book from Dave Shea and Molly Holzschlag, The Zen of CSS Design. This book uses examples from the CSS Zen Garden site as the source for discussions on how to create beautiful CSS-based Web sites. My initial scan of the book had me thinking it was a deconstruction of 35 of the designs. And while a chapter does deconstruct six of the designs, the remainder of the book is a look at modern topics on CSS design and uses some of the designs as a sort of starting point. This book is more than just analysis of the Zen designs, it is a good reference and idea generator for web designers using CSS for creating web sites. I strongly recommend it.
