For books, I recommend CSS Mastery and Pro CSS techniques Those are actually the only two books I bought and I'm very happy with it. IMHO, a good book is worth buying and it would be easier to have it by your side compared to getting an ebook version of it.
Read more css files, try to write like them. go to yahoo development network . There is a place for you to learn css + (x)html . You find excellent ready-to-use css files , layout.
I recommend HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS. I never wrote in tables, but it's very nice at getting your head around using CSS to position stuff (and they have proper HTML to begin with as well). ...and sitting around on forums watching the Crusties argue or help people. ...and making your own pages. You'll find that as you get into a specific area, you'll need to learn the proper CSS for that sort of thing (like, tables, forms, lists, drop-down-lists) and so you'll learn in chunks as well. Complicated tables have been one of the last things I learned that I started out knowing nothing about. I read the specs and ended up using all this stuff that didn't matter in the real world (axis, using headers and scope at the same time), and I learned that while doing them (and reading the articles pages about particular styling, like at alistapart.com or 456bereastreet.com or htmldog.com or meyerweb.com or mezzoblue.com etc.).
Speaking of eBooks, I recently had an idea of teaching people XHTML/CSS by tailoring each tutorial around what they wanted to do. I could help you by teaching you the way I learned. I know CSS like the back of my hand now. If you're interested feel free to PM.
I also recommend the book CSS Mastery, but if you have no knowledge of css what so ever. For beginners don't get the book (yet). I don't have CSS Mastery but I did took a peak at it and it's pretty good. Go to amazon.com and search for css. There are alot of css book with buyer's reviews, that helps you what's right to get.
The Pro CSS techniques book glorie mentioned looks very good, and likely is for beginners who already know HTML. I like the idea of an entire chapter spent on the Cascade-- very important. Another whole chapter just on common bugs-- also invaluable. And each of the three authors (one being the author of the Build Your Own Web Site book, Ian Lloyd) being web standardistas and working off and with W3C recommendations. You can't go wrong with that : )
