 Great reference: perfect if it had illustrations April 17, 2008
It must be very hard to pack the perfect reference about CSS in a small book that you can fit in your pocket. But this Pocket Reference about CSS by Web legend Eric A. Meyer himself is very close to being perfect.
The information on it is impeccable and serves as a great resource for those who what they are looking for (think of it as a dictionary). However, if you are clueless about CSS and want to learn from scratch, look elsewhere (his title CSS Web Site Design Hands on Training (Hands-On Training) is a very good starting point) as there are no concessions made her for newbies nor any illustrations to help you visualize the impact that changing things in a CSS expression can have.
 best cheat sheet out there March 24, 2008
Exactly what I was looking for - all the codes needed for CSS at my fingertips, in a compact, easy to carry size. Great reference!

For a small book, CSS Pocket Reference packs a lot of information.
The author, Eric A. Meyer, thoughtfully provides a basic CSS primer in the first 33 pages of the reference.
A must have, go anywhere, reference for every web page author/designer.
Handy and complete reference October 23, 2007

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the W3C standard for the visual presentation of web pages, although it can be used in other situations too. The book begins with a short introduction to the basic concepts of CSS. What follows is an alphabetical reference to all CSS2.1 selectors, and finally an alphabetical reference to all CSS2.1 properties. This is a good handy reference once you understand CSS, but I wouldn't advise it as a sole source for novices. Instead, try "CSS: The Definitive Guide" in its latest edition for a very good all-round tutorial and reference. This book is for those occasions when you don't have time to go digging through the much larger "Definitive Guide" for short answers to questions. The table of contents is not currently shown for this book in the product description, so I show that next:
