Jumping the gun a little, I just order "Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional" by Simon Collison and "Pro CSS Techniques" by Jeff Croft, Ian Lloyd, and Dan Rubin . Both of these books are published by APress.

Please trim your quotes to the relevant minimum (that is, quote nothing that you are not explicitly referring to).

The one I am sure I saw though... is one for overflowing text.

Probably you mean <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#hyphenate> (currently a WD). If you limited your target environments to the more recent (or in that sense more standards-compliant) browsers/layout engines, you could use HTML's `­' (soft hyphen) already. Firefox 3.0.x/Gecko 1.9, which was the last of the major browsers/layout engines to implement that feature, met its end- of-life on 2010-03-30. > The one I am sure I saw though... is one for overflowing text. When else would you need this? PointedEars -- Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people who don't know javascript.
