The ideal introduction to theming in Drupal 6. The main requirements to make use of this book are knowledge of HTML, CSS, and a touch of creativity - you don't need to know anything about theming in Drupal, although you should be familiar with the basic operation of the Drupal system. Although this book aims to make Drupal theming accessible to designers, theming in Drupal 6 involves writing some PHP code, and a basic knowledge of PHP will be helpful. Regardless of your technical skills, this book will teach you to design themes for your Drupal websites in the easiest way.

wysiwyg styling
I may be overlooking it but something that often goes hand in hand with theming is styling for the wysiwyg editor (to allow users to only use the site's styles). I found a nice starting point for drupal configurations using tinymce as the main wysiwyg editor at http://drupal.org/node/160657.

drupal 6 themes
I am working through drupal 6 themes. It has a very clear and nice set-up and I've finally reached chapter 6 to do some hands-on work. I must note though that if you have Theme Developer (which is part of the Devel Module) turned on in firefox 3, versions 6.14 and 6.15 are known to disable the fieldset fold outs that are necessary while creating dummy content (page 150). I suggest that you install the Administration menu module, which allows you to disable the Theme Developer while posting content or configuring the website. The option is located underneath the blue martian at the utter left of the administration menu toolbar (which you can configure to stick to the top of your browser window btw). Chrome appears not to have this issue, but it lacks the add-on functionality of firefox that you need to use firebug. Another method then would be to have the site open in both chrome and Firefox and use firefox for theming while using chrome solely for posting content.
