Ask HN: Front end/CSS books

#1
Hello NH. I'm looking for Frontend / CSS / and-so-on books to master my outdated skills.

For example, ages ago i'd suggest Zeldman books or 'The Zen of CSS Design' by Dave Shea, but it seems to me that A LOT changed for now on.

Any great books to understand how to do perfect frontend today? Thanks.

- Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS https://smacss.com/
