Stylesheets of Recently Published eBooks to Study?

I'm brand new to ebook formatting and I want to study stylesheets of recently published ebooks to use them as a guide for learning how to create my own stylesheets. I studied the ones from EPUB Zen Garden, but those are five years old (it seems).

Are you aware of any resources that might help with this? (links, collections, coding books, etc)

Thank you.

There are lots of ePub ebooks in the MobileRead library, all free. Have you thought of looking there? I doubt that you will find a 'one best way', but looking at other people's ebooks was one of the things when I was starting.

I made a 'sampler' book of my (style) code experiments (mostly chapter headings and first paragraphs)

This is also a great way to learn HTML/CSS

Also, remember to always VIEW your masterpieces on target devices (don't just trust emulators; if it looks GOOD. OTOH if it looks BAD, it ain't gonna get better )

Many of the PC 'Viewers' support features that are NOT available on devices. They also have access to SYSTEM fonts that are not on devices.
Devices also have their own ways of doing things ('we know best' )
and the have screens that run from tiny to wall size. Monochrome to a bazillion colors.
