You'll get a lot of "Paul Sellers" as answers. Personally I don't recommend him at all, but there's a vocal group on /r/woodworking that loves him.

So here's the thing, there's no one way to do things, no matter what some will say. My suggestion is to look at a variety of resources and you'll start to form a picture of how to do things.

With that being said here are the resources I find valuable:

The Essential Woodworker by Robert Wearing is a fantastic how to for building furniture with hand tools.

Chris Schwarz is a huge source of information. His DVDs are generally good, but they do overlap. The Anarchist's Toolchest is informational and inspirational when it comes to hand tools in general.

Tom Fidgen is my current favorite hand tool woodworking. His first and second books are both good. I find the second to be better.

The New Traditional Woodworker is also a great book.

Shannon Rogers has a ton of fantastic content both free and paid. I can vouch for, and recommend his online woodworking classes: The Hand Tool School

The Naked Woodworker is Mike Siemsen's dvd and I think it's an excellent all round getting started resource. Had this been out when I started I'd have probably built the Nicholson bench and never looked back.

Logan Cabinet Shop unfortunately Bob doesn't put out content any longer, but his videos are all available on youtube. He's another Nicholson bench guy and he has a crapload of great info to pass on.

Roy Underhill is an institution in hand tool woodworking. You can buy old seasons of his show on Popular Woodworking's site, and quite a bit of it is available to watch online. My dad used to watch this show when I was a kid and I hated it back then, now I check every week for a new episode.

Lie Nielsen puts out a lot of informational content on youtube and their tools are top notch to boot.

Sharpening might as well be a religious belief, I believe The Last Word in sharpening, yes another Chris Schwarz dvd, is a great video that boils everything down to the basics regardless of the particular medium you go with.

For the be all and end all book about sharpening The Perfect Edge can't be beat. It'll tell you way more than you need to know about the feed and care of edge tools.

I'm missing a lot of stuff, these are just the primary resources that come to mind, but once you start digging around you'll find references to others. My recommendation would be to jump around a bit and see who grabs you. Don't fall into a narrow view of the craft... and avoid anyone that presents one.

Edit: One I missed that I felt I had to add is Tony Konovaloff I got my copy of his book "Chisel, Mallet, Plane and Saw" from Lost Art Press (I'm a junkie, I think I have every book they produce/distribute) but it doesn't appear to be there anymore. I'm not sure where to get a copy.
