Your favorite CSS book - Drawar Design

I have tons of CSS books/guides/tutorials in PDF format but I don't like using them as a reference. For some reason the good old paper format seems to work really well. Which CSS reference guide/tutorial book would you recommend? My criteria are: beginner friendly, slightly designer-oriented and preferable recently released.

I am thinking about one of these:

Beginning CSS - Richard York (2007)
The Zen Of Css Design - Molly E. Holzschlag & Dave Shea (2005)
Bulletproof Web Design (Improving Flexibility and Protecting Against Worst-Case Scenarios with XHTML and CSS ) - Dan Cederholm (2007)

Especially the last one looks really good. What is your favorite CSS book, which one would you recommend?

Bulletproof Web Design is a fantastic book, but it's not really a CSS book, per se. It's more for people who have an understanding of HTML/CSS and want to do things the right way.

I'm a big fan of Designing Without Tables from Sitepoint as a beginning CSS book. Getting this with Bulletproof Web Design would give you a great foundation.

I have several favorites- my top-most one being CSS Mastery, followed by Professional CSS. Then there is Designing CSS Web Pages which is the first book that actually helped me learn CSS.
