I'd be happy to give you a copy of mine, but alas, I am not constrained by having to sell on different sites and only need to make them pretty for myself.
However, there are several books in MR's free library that you can download and look at their css. There are some very well done (and a few not so well done  ) that can give you ideas on what people have used. Another trick is to download a book (hopefully a well done one) from each of the sites you want to publish your book. Look at the css and see if/how it's different between the sites. |
Well, I confess it--we do have some stuff that I'd be loath to give out, like our (way cool, if I do say so myself) Dropcaps that actually DO work on Kindle eInks (woo woo).
I know that ages ago--it's gotta be 10 years, eh, Wolfie?--I shared our then-inhouse CSS with him, but that's nearly worthless now. Also, we have a rule--we only keep in each eBook what we use in that eBook. We don't leave unused CSS in any ebook. At least, hopefully, we don't. (Famous last words).
I'll see if I can find a nice simple CSS sheet, but Jon (Wolfie) is very picky about his books and you should be in good stead if you start with his.
