John Duckett's book "HTML & CSS" is good. You can skip to the more advanced chapters if you don't want to start from zero.

As much as W3Schools is hated, I find their HTML/CSS/JS guides to be a lot simpler to understand than MDN: https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

Thanks everyone for all the recommendations. I need more time to look into them but I just wanted to add here that the book you mentioned [1] stands out as one of the most aesthetically pleasing IT books I've seen.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I checked out the book on Amazon and see that: Publisher : John Wiley & Sons; 1st edition (November 8, 2011)

I am sure there are a lot of good stuff there, but quite a lot has happened with html/css and browser support since late 2011.
