"More Eric Meyer on CSS"
 

Have any of you seen the new Meyer book? Opinions? I've found his others
useful and educational but am wondering if he's found enough new material to
cover to make the purchase worthwhile. TIA

i find it very difficult to justify the purchase of computer books when
everything you need to know is online.

Hardcopy has advantages.

For example, I am relearning that which I forgot about C# - my reference
book is 1200+ pages. This book would be awkward to use online.

A book has built-in space for handwritten notes.

Web pages go down and, sadly, indexing the internet is like herding cats.
While Google does a good job, a book's table of contents and index are
just superior.

has a kewl little button and if i press it what i see on screen
magically appears on a piece of paper. its amazing.

Mine does that, too ... but after the second ream of paper, and a new
print cartridge, it got old ... =)

.... print cartridges sometimes cost as much as the book ...

If you have access to an endless supply of free paper and ink (ie "at
work"), then I suppose it is a good deal. Though, your coworkers might
get fussy.
