http://www.w3schools.com/ is an awesome place to learn CSS and many other web technologies for free.
Do you have access to Dreamweaver or another web editor with stylesheet (CSS) support? I think practicing using a tool like that really helps you learn all the possibilities. Dreamweaver 8 basically has a GUI CSS property editor that lets you fill in values and really play around.
There are also a few sites focused on specific CSS issues which really help you experiment and learn:
for Boxes/Borders - http://www.copysense.co.uk/border.htm
for Lists - http://accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-t...
...and many more.
CSS is awesome! Good luck!

CSS adds a new element to HTML and seriously changes the way HTML developers need to think about HTML design and layout in general. To be the best CSS/HTML developer possible you must understand the way the two should be used, and how they work best together. Simply learning CSS and applying it to existing CSSless HTML knowledge will not yield the best results.
HTML Dog provides some fantastic basic HTML/CSS tutorials that you can read through on their website:
Read through the HTML tutorials even if you already know how to code HTML, they provide excellent insights on how HTML design has to change with the introduction of CSS. The tutorials are written in a relaxed and very easy to read manner that makes learning enjoyable. If you enjoy their site enough their book is written the same way, but it covers a lot more and goes into wonderful in depth detail that any amazing CSS/HTML coder should know.
Once you feel comfortable with the best practices of HTML/CSS development and with CSS syntax then you can graduate to some more complex learning methods. An amazing example of the powers of CSS is CSS ZEN Garden:
Their site shows of amazing CSS designs which you can view to see how people solved certain CSS problems. They also provide links to further, more complex, CSS tutorials.
