you can't go wrong with CSS Mastery. It's also concise and very well written.

Seconded. Instead of the usual dry "Chapter n: Divs, Chapter n+1: Links" etc, Zen of CSS looks at a number of stunning designs in turn, explaining how each was achieved. Beautiful book.

I also own zen of css design, which is pretty good if you must have a physical book.

Bulletproof Web Design is the only CSS book I have liked enough to buy so far.

Not that the Definitive Guide isn't also a very good book.

CSS Mastery for me is THE book on CSS.

CSS: The Missing Manual was a great starting point for me.

The definitive book is Designing with Web Standards.

HTML with CSS and XHTML by Elisabeth Freeman & Eric Freeman seemed like a breeze to get through, and very easy to understand. I recommend starting here.
