If the reader doesn't know basic CSS - a definite possibility, remember - then this is concise and programmer-friendly.
If the reader does know CSS, then they're probably asked "can you make this for me?" by everyone and their extended family, and this is concise and has immediate, clear examples to make it newbie-friendly. I wouldn't dare throw a big CSS book at a non-programmer new to CSS.
