    The real question is who was still buying this type of book in the last decade or two? What value were they getting out of it? Was it being used as reference or training or what?

      If you haven‘t been paying attention you will off course miss the good stuff out there.

      Rachel Andrew’s (mentioned in TFA) for example has The New CSS Layout (2017) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abookapart.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;the-new-css-layout.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abookapart.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;the-new-css-layout.html an excellent book I still recommend for anybody who want to learn about modern CSS layout.

      But if you are this dismissive of the field of course you will fail to see the value of them.

        Who&#x27;s being dismissive? You can&#x27;t figure out where your customers went if you don&#x27;t know what value they were getting.
