I am sometimes using Sass at work and thought it might be nice to know a bit more about it, maybe learn some of its functionalities without having to read through dry documentation. This book proved to be just right for that. Cederholm approaches the topic in a very practical manner with many examples and focusing on the core features which are used most often and which provide the greatest benefit. Good intro into Sass for web designers wanting to improve the readability and the maintainability of their styling files.

Doesn't include much info on using _components/_partials (project organization,) but highly informative on the mechanics and functionality of SASS. Clearly organized and full of excellent, practical examples.

Great starting point that sums up the benefits of adding Sass to your Web Development work flow. It inspired me to add this to my own work flow. Nesting and mixins? Yes, please!

This is now at the top of my list for resources for people just starting with Sass.
If you've been using it for awhile, you might pick up a few tricks, but you'd mostly likely be better off picking up something else. If, however, you're just starting to dip your toes into it (or are skeptical) this is pretty much perfect. Short, to the point, and very clearly explained.

The author does a good job explaining how and why to use Sass. He makes it sound easy enough but then also mentions all these other tools to make it easier, so either it's actually trickier than it looks or developers are really lazy. He doesn't adequately address the effects of the compiling on development or site speed.

The 'A Book Apart' series does exactly what it purports to do: delivers fundamental information on the most important topics for contemporary web designers. This book is no exception. Sass is quick to learn, so one can argue almost any book would do the trick; but that would be an error. This book is well-designed and organized, hits all the major points, and gives clear and valuable examples. Highly recommended for readers looking for an introduction to sass.
