Browser DevTools help us a ton these days in debugging CSS, but there isn’t exactly a step-by-step guide about it that I know of. This book leans into that, showing off how to debug really practical and understandable CSS issues with the help of DevTools when appropriate.
A bit of history about debugging and how it evolved over the years.
The type of CSS bugs and an explanation of each one with an example.
An extensive explanation about web browsers development tools and how to get benefit of them for debugging.
This is not your typical chapter that explain cool things about CSS. In this chapter, you will learn about the most common CSS properties issues and their solution.
There are many ways to break a layout in CSS, this chapter is intended to teach you a couple of useful methods.
Oh, it’s not fair to write a book about debugging CSS without mentioning browsers inconsistency and how to fix it.
Some delightful and useful tips that will make your life easier as a designer and a developer.
If you're a visual learner, this book is for you. It focuses more on actionable advice and tips.
All the examples in the book are things that you face in your day to day work. Nothing is abstract.
Each CSS issue has a mockup that shows it clearly so you don't have to imagine it.
You will not only learn about how to debug CSS, but you will also learn some CSS tips with UI design in mind.
You don't want to miss this as there is no such detailed writing about debugging CSS.
Do you read books cover to cover? You don't have to. This book is clearly sectioned so you can read the topic that matters to you the most.

CSS is sadly an increasingly undervalued tool for front end developers, in no small part because developers find debugging CSS challenging. Yet, until now there's been little in depth published on debugging CSS. Ahmad Shadeed's book is long overdue, and I can't recommend it highly enough for any front end developer.

Ahmad gathers in this practical book a bunch of CSS bugs encountered on a daily basis by all levels of developers, and how to solve all of them. A book that would have saved me hours of research in my early days, and well, still today! Well done!

Just read it if you think that CSS is simple. Really great book with deep dive into CSS nuances. It's a rare example of long term knowledge in the era of fast changes in web standards.
Coming to the end of the amazing "Debugging CSS" by @shadeed9 — can't recommend it enough, it's about time such a book was published!
