Regarding the styles. You can buy the option to edit the css yourself. Cheap and worth the investment

I mean the one that you install on your own server... so you can pretty much do what you want to it.

I haven't read any books on it but I'd be interested in hearing some suggestions as well.

im in the same boat and ive started reading a book from Packt Publishing, its helped a little so far, but as kalkal said when you reach a point it becomes a case of trail and error

Cool, thank you very much. I often like to look at a book about it as it just gives you a bit of space from your machine for a while.

This is great to use as a base. It's stripped out all the clutter and styles and you just build from pretty much the bare minimum.

My way has been to install some free themes with desired functionality and then try to dissect it and learn by editing and changing the theme.
