You might want to read this review from one of buyers:<p>"This isn't really the place for this comment but I have to say it...Haven't read the book yet but I thought I would check it out as I could borrow it free with my Amazon Prime account (first time borrowing a book). It listed as $0.00. I "purchased" it and it appears that I was charged $9.99. Not the end of the world but the Amazon user experience is still the worst out there. How can you tell me it's $0.00 then charge me $9.99? With further investigation i found there should be a borrow it now link. I went back to the page and looked everywhere for that link and couldn't find it. I also can't find a way to remedy this problem. Guess I'll be more cautious when using Amazon Prime in the future. I come back and give the book a rating after reading... giving the author the benefit of the doubt for the moment and putting in a 4 star ratting. They shouldn't be punished for Amazon's shortfall."<p>I love this guy's attitude, BTW. Lost $10, keeps calm, rates book 4/5.

Don't bother with this book, at all. I'm just skimming through it and the author encourages the use of the font element, styling properties of elements like bgcolor. In other examples, he inlines CSS styles onto the elements — if that wasn't bad enough he's doing so in the `class` attribute, not the `style` attribute...<p>Other things that irk me is he keeps using the term "tags" instead of elements and "arguments" instead of properties.

These aren't free. Do not click the link.

It's not even through Amazon.co.uk available for me: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/tyB57.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/tyB57.png</a>. Ugh, I hate country restrictions!<p>Since it is free, would it be legal for anyone to send it to me?

Just to confirm, it is free (if you're in the UK) but the link above is for the US version which isn't free.

I can confirm that (in the UK at least) this book is free. I'll go and have a look at the CSS book too.

US only I guess
