An interesting experience, trying not to use automation. I don't know would I recommend it; although at least I can be confident of the markup logic if not the css.
Don't borrow CSS from an eBook made by one of the BPHs unless you know exactly what the CSS does. A lot of the CSS they use is generated by some program that does a rather poor job. They also have many CSS classes that are not used. You would be best to learn HTML/CSS and code your own. In most cases, it is very easy to do.
