Cool! I've been a CSS convert for a while. Just not a very good one. I
don't do the heavy lifting in the presentation side. My wife, however,
has been doing more and more and has decided she _really_ like doing web
site work (hand codes using bluefish - didn't like the Adobe products on
a friends Mac!). She has a better eye for layout and design than I do
(guess why I married her!) and as such has been looking for better
references than what we currently have. Most of the web design books we
have I bought over 3 years ago now. So that puts them in the "css is
cool but not functional yet" status.

The "Designing With Web Standards" book looks like a "must have NOW".
Thanks!!
