I personally believe that practical examples, which one can inherit and
interact with, are better. CSSZenGarden gives a fundamental model of a page
and then binds to it a variety of stylesheets, from which one can learn
(e.g. by viewing the source).
Another decent proportion of Web developers, however, prefer books, which in
some sense is the reverse approach: learn, then create (as opposed to "look
what was created and learn from it").

I'll just add:
http://csszengarden.com/
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
The latter is not necessarily good (in fact, many would criticise both
URL's), but that's where I looked several years ago.
