The book was my starting point with CC. After spending a few days reading it, I bought the bundle of 29 programs, so it seems it worked for me
What made the decision easy to buy the book, at least back then, was that you could download a couple of sample chapters for free first to check out. I don't seem to find that offer anywhere now though...

After some further checking, I found the place where you can still download Chapters 7, 12, 14 and the TOC for free to check it out:

What is the status of the book? I'm at the point that I need to go back and review HTML/CSS (HTML5/CSS3) and would like some recommendations on a current book.

TIA,

Steve

I don't know what the current status is. The book was very good once, but in the meantime we have html5, css3, responsive sites...
So unless the book gets a major overhaul and update with new stuff, I think you'd better look for something else. Check out SitePoint (google it), they have a lot of up-to-date stuff, both books and online courses.

Also CC has a new booklet: http://www.coffeecup.com/books/intro-to-html5-and-css3/
