This impresses me. I saved the pages for offline viewing on my tablet, but 
suspect that most of the meat is in the many, many links to other pages. So 
offline viewing may be of limited use. 

I even like the way those two pages look. Shouldn’t matter, I suppose, but it 
does to me.

This link apparently goes to the Amazon mobile site. Limited info, purchase not 
supported. 2nd edition.

I get this as the regular Amazon page.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Sergey's%20HTML5%20%26%20CSS3%20Quick%20Reference


The 3rd edition is out (only 3 months newer, no Kindle yet — much more 
expensive). No user reviews yet??? Wonder if they got the year wrong? 

I’ve added this to my Wish List — but it’s too confused for me to consider now. 



A popular quick ref is Eric Meyer’s “CSS Pocket Reference.” Meyer is a major 
figure. The book likely is impeccable. I have the 3rd Ed in book form and the 
4th in PDF. But the index seldom has what I look for. And the examples seldom 
do what I wish to do. I would confess to often wishing to do what isn’t fully 
recommended, but other good books DO have what I seek.
