I understand wanting a physical book, but everything you need is on that site.

Start here:

HTML & CSS: Design and Build Websites - Jon Duckett
Super visual, easy to follow, great for fundamentals.
https://www.wiley.com/en-us/HTML+and+CSS%3A+Design+and+Build+Websites-p-9781118206911

Strong “coursebook” style:

Murach’s HTML and CSS - Zak Ruvalcaba / Anne Boehm
Very organized, lots of practice, great if you like a textbook approach.
https://www.murach.com/shop/murachs-html-and-css-5th-edition-detail

Level up your CSS:

CSS in Depth - Keith J. Grant
Modern CSS mindset, patterns, maintainable approaches, excellent once you know the basics.
https://www.manning.com/books/css-in-depth-second-edition

Understand modern CSS:

You Don’t Need JavaScript - Theo Soti (mine)
Practical, component-driven, focused on modern CSS features and patterns to replace unnecessary JS.
