Best book for CSS, flex box, and HTML?

Hey everyone,

so being halfway through the web development track, I'm looking at finding a book to read more about CSS and HTML, along with any flex box material. You know, in case I want to do a little light reading when I'm not studying Japanese or Chinese.

Any recommendations?

My favourite book about Web Development is Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript: With jQuery, CSS & HTML5 by Robin Nixon. Unfortunately the book do not includes a chapter about flex box. On the other hand it is really helpful for learning and also for references. I hope you also find it useful.
