I think they are both great books but I found more info in Andy's book that I was able to immediately apply to my work. Zen Garden has some great tips and has a lot of design principles and philosophies sprinkled throughout it. I have been reading it off and on since August. I think they have some good examples and there are things to learn from it. One thing I really liked about Andy's book is that he starts off by reviewing the CSS Box Model. It is one of the best explanations that I have come across and cleared up some misunderstandings that I had. I think that I got most of my value out of the first 2 chapters of his book and now I am going back and looking at specific uses. Just last week I reread his section on styling tables and put it to use on a project. I recently purchased Transcending CSS which takes the next step from Zen Garden. Molly H. who contributed to Zen Garden also contributes to this new title. I am looking forward to diving into it soon. Hope that is helpful.
