Excellent slideshow/presentation by Douglas Bowman titled CSS: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly. It details current and recently past techniques, why they were good attempts, how they fail, and what the future holds. As an introduction to the current state of CSS-based design, it is quick and rigorous, but an excellent overview of an ever-changing technology.

If you're looking for more than the previously mentioned Advanced Tables Tutorial, check out Isolani's Creating Structured Tables. It's a bit more on the practical side.
