Most CSS for basic e-book use is butt-simple (compared to a web page) :

class="some_name" is where the real styling work is done


Find some books in the MR Library (3 men in a boat is advanced stuff)
Look at the code for what you like

find the class name in the CSS
fiddle with a SINGLE attribute value and note what happens in the Live Preview pane.

Borrow code snippets from PD/open sources (CSS in other books my be covered by copyrights if using for other than you personal enjoyment)

HTMLdog has good tutorials (remember. Not all CSS applies to EPUB)
