Please recommend a book for basic CSS learning

Question

I have "CSS The Missing Manual" and even though I'd say it's
a great book. It does not tell you "how to."
All the books I have read gives you templates, I want to
"know how it was done." Seeing a template already made up does not
show you how to build your own. Yea you can can look at the codes
in the Dreamweaver templates but what happens if you want to build
your own? Why was this DIV placed here? How do I create another
Column?
There are so much I'm not learning.
I am looking for a book that will assume I know nothing about
CSS and tells me, "to make an elastic layout, do this." "To make a
liquid layout do this, write this, use these tags."
Any recommendations? Please help.
I would like to go to school for this, but can't afford it at
the moment.
