From the reviews:
Provides an introduction that explains what microformats are, and identifies some of the publishers of Web content. ... Throughout the book, Allsop provides guidance on how to use CSS in order to present the microformatted information. ... Allsop has done an excellent job of introducing the reader to microformats. He explains both how and why the use of microformats is important. I highly recommend that every Web professional becomes familiar with microformats. This is an excellent resource with which to begin. (Will Wallace, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008)
