CSS Pocket Reference: Visual Presentation for the Web Review: Wonderful Pocket Guide - This book is great for quick references. I've been coding CSS for years, but I still need a quick reference here and there. This pocket reference is perfect for those scenarios. It contains enough information to get a beginner up and running quickly with a little additional research. The basic concepts are in the beginning. The book is full of selectors and properties with explanations on their use (in alphabetic order). The explanations are very helpful and the examples are clear. I highly recommend this book. Its quick and useful to have on hand... and won't break the bank. Review: I am completely comfortable with CSS - I am completely comfortable with CSS, but there are plenty of selectors and properties that I don't use all the time, so I forget the possible values for the properties, or I forget if the property has "text" or "font" in the name, or something like that. This pocket reference appears to be complete, and it's easy to use and keep at hand and get around in because it's physically so small and doesn't include a lot of discursive explanation. It does include enough explanation to know what each CSS property does. Since I got it, I pretty much never look in my many larger CSS books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #398,223 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in CSS Programming #124 in Web Design (Books) #215 in Computer Programming Languages | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (257) | | Dimensions | 4.25 x 0.3 x 7 inches | | Edition | 5th | | ISBN-10 | 1492033391 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1492033394 | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 204 pages | | Publication date | May 29, 2018 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![CSS Pocket Reference: Visual Presentation for the Web - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JBB-1BoOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Pocket Guide *by B***U on September 1, 2018* This book is great for quick references. I've been coding CSS for years, but I still need a quick reference here and there. This pocket reference is perfect for those scenarios. It contains enough information to get a beginner up and running quickly with a little additional research. The basic concepts are in the beginning. The book is full of selectors and properties with explanations on their use (in alphabetic order). The explanations are very helpful and the examples are clear. I highly recommend this book. Its quick and useful to have on hand... and won't break the bank. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am completely comfortable with CSS *by B***H on June 12, 2018* I am completely comfortable with CSS, but there are plenty of selectors and properties that I don't use all the time, so I forget the possible values for the properties, or I forget if the property has "text" or "font" in the name, or something like that. This pocket reference appears to be complete, and it's easy to use and keep at hand and get around in because it's physically so small and doesn't include a lot of discursive explanation. It does include enough explanation to know what each CSS property does. Since I got it, I pretty much never look in my many larger CSS books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A better-formatted, worthwhile update to the earlier edition *by R***N on October 26, 2018* I own the 4th edition, copyright 2011, and bought this updated one when I saw it on Amazon. This edition is 195 pages; the 4th edition is 238 pages. There is no description of the changes in the book (to save space no doubt) but it appears the smaller page count has two causes. On is that certain obscure CSS3 properties are no longer listed. For example, the 4th edition has an 'Aural Media' section that includes elements such as 'voice-family' and 'cue'. Those are gone from this edition, presumably because the W3C has deprecated those functions. The second reason is because there is less white space in general in this edition, and that's actually a good thing. I found the 4th edition harder to parse because the listing of property values was spaced out on different lines and a simple horizontal rule separated the property descriptions. In this edition the properties are more clearly delineated with a double bold border around each property, and the property descriptions are laid out in left-right columns that are easier to scan. The selectors and queries section received the same reformatting. The introductory Basic Concepts and Values chapters are still present with little change other than for being updated for 2018. Another nice thing about the 5th edition is that the header for every property contains two flags indicating whether the property is inheritable and can be animated. In general, CSS3 was relatively new in 2011 and that edition contained a lot of 'not yet supported' and ' tentative' comments in the descriptions. In 2018 CSS3 is a lot less rough around the edges, and this edition has been pruned and parsed as necessary to bring it more in line with the CSS3 state-of-the-art in 2018. That, along with it's much better formatting, makes it a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion. ## Frequently Bought Together - CSS Pocket Reference: Visual Presentation for the Web - HTML5 Pocket Reference: Quick, Comprehensive, Indispensable - JavaScript Pocket Reference: Activate Your Web Pages --- ## 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/63991239-css-pocket-reference-visual-presentation-for-the-web](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/63991239-css-pocket-reference-visual-presentation-for-the-web) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
