CSS Artistry = Mastering core and advance knowledge of CSS
CSS Artistry brings fresh ideas on how to write pages and tries to point out the idea of semantic web. I believe that is the way to go in the future. Andy gives very nice ideas and guide how to achieve that. DVD also talks about box model and inheritance. Thanks to this DVD I understood what relative really means and how cascading works. Lucas

very good examples
The DVD shows very good examples of a layout the designer wants to achieve and the way to get there. Besides he creates layouts that I've never seen before, not even similar. The book is also good and inspiring.
