Sandor Nagyszalanczy?
As far as the original question, folks have covered it pretty well,
but I'm not sure anyone mentioned Tage Frid. He covers a lot of
ground in his two-volume set _Teaches Woodworking_. Among more recent
books, Taunton published a couple of good general interest books last
year (or was it earlier this year?): _The Complete Illustrated Guide
to Joinery_ by Gary Rogowski and _The Complete Illustrated Guide to
Furniture and Cabinet Construction_ by Andy Rae.
Another book I have on my list is _Woodworking: The Right
Technique: Three Practical Ways to Do Every Job-And How to Choose the
One That's Right for You_ by Bob Moran. It's supposed to have Neander
and Normite approaches to the same job. (So at least 1/3 of it will
be useful. :-)

Larry,
I will be initially building shelving, counter tops, and bookcases. Once I
master those I will try drawer assembly and possibly box assembly.

Check the local library, they might have something for you to borrow and
see if you want it.
I find many good woodworking books over there, from the furniture makers
encyclopedia to Norm Abrams books to books about collections of good
projects from the editors of woodworking magazines.

I've gone one up on Jim Tolpin. I seem to use the 'measure three
times, cut twice' philosophy.
I read a book recently called "Tools of the Trade" by Jeff Taylor.
Very very good. It was shades of Tom Watson (or vice versa). Not
much, uh, technical information, but an outstanding read. He tells
stories of everything from Yankee Screwdrivers to a 3" slick. After
all, most of us aren't in this for 'production.' It's a journey,
rather than a destination.
