I am curious if any of you know any good books for full page layout with css rather than using tables - thats what i would be interested in - not the general syntax of css which i have access to in other books. I did purchase a book a while ago called designing without tables using css by Dan Shafer and i thought it was rubbish.

From what i know, the general syntax of css is fairly straight forward to pick up but page layout is very complex i hear. I might be wrong - what are your thoughts on this?

Thank you.
