Clearly, the author knows her CSS. The real question is, "Can she communicate her brilliance to others?". I answer, "Yes". The book is broken up into 47 short chapters. Each chapter begins by introducing a common, UI-centric problem and then explores one or more solutions to that problem, including the pros and cons of each solution. The code snippets are beautiful in their simplicity, and there are links to css demos sprinkled throughout. The focus of the book is "Better solutions to everyday web design problems", and to describe it as a series of how-to's would be accurate. But in the course of revealing practical solutions to everyday problems, Verou provides just the right amount of explanation as to why the solutions work and what the tradeoffs are. If you're wanting to do a deep dive and really understand CSS, this book will give you plenty of jumping off points.I am a .NET developer by trade. I don't have any professional front-end web experience, and that's why I picked up this book. I wanted to build up my skills and understanding in this domain, and this book has been an effective resource in doing that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First day I got the book, 1 bug bites the dust. *by Y***U on December 7, 2015* I rarely leave product reviews, but I had to in this case in the hope the author may see this. THANK YOU SO MUCH.I've had an annoying UI bug that I've spent hours on and once my solutions started getting most heinous I decided to live with it instead of writing ungodly amounts of code for something that should be resolved with 1 line of css. For a separate issue a coworker recommended this book. (I couldn't wrap my head around how some css shapes are defined, the math involved etc.) While browsing chapters I found chapter 7, the section titled "Taming table column widths", and it changed my life. It had a great explanation on what the problem was with pictures and diagrams of exactly the issue I was seeing and also the solution had a similar explanation and picture of how the css property fixes the issue (More so the ramifications of the fix.)The book itself is a piece of art. It has been a joy browsing through the well laid out sections, beautiful typography, and helpful graphics. I have to recommend this book to anyone who does any amount of web design. There is a treasure trove of information in here that no amount of bing/google can compare. 5/5 - would buy again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must buy for All CSS Developers. *by P***I on May 29, 2016* Lea is a CSS magician & a Font-end Wizard. She has amazed the world with possibilities of HTML5, CSS, and SVG through her "CSS Secrets Talks". She is also an invited Expert in CSS Working Group.With this book, she pushes the boundaries of what could be possible with simple CSS properties.The Book starts with how the CSS standards are developed. Then, Lea goes on to reveal 32 CSS secrets spread across 47 chapters. Although some chapters do require a prerequisite (sometimes another chapter from the same book),the chapters can be read in a non-linear way.The book focusses on the possibilities of achieving a CSS problem with various innovative ways. For instance, she presents 6 ways of vertically centering an element. It also explains the process of finding a solution and draws light on the most suitable solution.What really sets this book apart from the other books is the "casual conversational" tone she maintains throughout the book. Not only language, but the content motivates the reader to read more without getting bored.For a book this amazing, which needs to be preserved, I found the paper quality a little substandard. Hopefully, O'Reilly will fix this issue soon :) ## Frequently Bought Together - CSS Secrets: Better Solutions to Everyday Web Design Problems - HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites - Eloquent JavaScript, 3rd Edition: A Modern Introduction to Programming --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/15718258-css-secrets](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/15718258-css-secrets) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
