My Book page wont change its design to the new one in chapter 3.

On my work, the style.css works on the rest of my pages fine except
for the books one. It just has a simple white background with the
links on them. This is how the style.css code:

body, p, ol, ul, td {
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 18px;
}

pre {
background-color: #eee;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 11px;
}

a { color: #000; }
a:visited { color: #666; }
a:hover { color: #fff; background-color:#000; }

.fieldWithErrors {
padding: 2px;
background-color: blue;
display: table;
}

#errorExplanation {
width: 400px;
border: 2px solid blue;
padding: 7px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

#errorExplanation h2 {
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 15px;
font-size: 12px;
margin: -7px;
background-color: #c00;
color: #fff;
}

#errorExplanation p {

margin-bottom: 0;
padding: 5px;
}

#errorExplanation ul li {

}

#notice {

}

#shopping_cart ul,

#loginlogout {

right: 10px;
}


This code doesn't look wrong to me because i copied it straight from
the sample code. What do you think is wrong?

I'm afraid it's impossible to tell from just reading CSS code. Install
Firebug and use its "inspect element" functionality to see which css
rules (don't) apply to your page elements.
