Somewhat amateurish and still talks about IE 4 and IE 5

The examples in this book seems like good material for a 2-year college class, but not very suited for production level.

Also, the book is published in mid 2009 and still talks about IE 4 and 5. Oh well...

And the important DOCTYPE discussion? It is discussed on page 233, near the end of the book. Wouldn't it be very important to talk about it at the very beginning of the book? For example, if your CSS doesn't work, maybe the root cause is in the DOCTYPE? So shouldn't it be discussed in Chapter 1 or the Intro?

And talking about the important ordering of specifying link's pseudo classes: L V H A (link, visited, hover, active), the author didn't mention "focus", to make the order complete: L V H F A.

Also, the author published this book since 2004, and now she is publishing another book called "Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong!" It is fairly conflicting to choose titles like that.

It is hard to justify this book as a 4.5 star book. Maybe a 3 star.
