Get this, it actually explains things very clearly, and then is handy to have around to answer everything:

http://www.amazon.com/CSS-Master…it is still relevant, but IE 7&8 might require the book to update soon.
- Excellent bookNathan_Adams

well ya know...
there;s always the spec providers...

Leaning the spec is easy. Learning the quirks is hell. Learning some of the "different" ideas in IE6, like the box model is sanity-saving.
I liked the Sitepoint books.

correct usage of wrappers, floats, doctype, etc will alleviate so called "quirks" i used to fight with workarounds but now all my code validates without them, i no longer use separate style sheets or hacks to guarantee consistency.
just because it seems "easy" and "right" in ff and safari doesn't mean ie is wrong, i too used to believe it was trash, but have since decided as a developer it was my code and not my browser that needed work.
These are the books I bought but somehow lost to a client/friend...

Am doing the lynda.com thing.
But, I'm dying to try this out. Same premise only "books" on demand.
Meyer's CSS is here, too:

This book doesn't go into CSS3, but that doesn't really matter for now anyway. It's pretty good for learning and as a reference book.
