Recommend A Good CSS Book

Hey guys,

I hate CSS but I need to get along with it, otherwise I'm going to keep struggling everytime I work on a non-Flash website. So what book would you recommend?

P.S: I'm not looking for a book that teaches me what CSS is and the basic properties. I need a book that would teach me smart techniques of positioning and laying things out the right way!

I highly recommend Jeffrey Zeldman's book even though it is more on web standards than CSS itself.

That seems like an interesting read. From the reviews I've read, it seems like a good book which tells you why and how to develop websites that are compliant with web standards. Many people recommended this book and said it's suitable for anyone looking for ways to clean their code. I'll make sure to get this one, but for now I prefer to read a book which focuses more the code and how to accomplish certain techniques rather than theoretical discussions. Thanks for the link samer.

Any other suggestions?
