Popular Woodworking Books
Schwarz's book is good (note there's no T in his name). Also good is Tolpin's New Traditional Woodworker http://www.amazon.com/dp/1440304289/
It took my a while to get back to my desk, but I wanted to give a thorough answer!
There was also a lot of other miscellaneous videos and forum posts that proved to be helpful, but that was mostly found on a "problem seeking solution" basis rather than when I was trying to get my feet under me, so I don't have a great record of them. I hope this helps!
Saw this one as well that looked interesting - http://www.amazon.com/New-Traditional-Woodworker-Popular-Woodworking/dp/1440304289/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397005210&sr=1-4&keywords=without+power+tools
Last week I picked up "Working Wood 1 & 2" and am extremely impressed with the quality and clarity throughout. I respect Sellers and his work immensely, and do not hesitate to recommend the book.
I also recommend:
The New Traditional Woodworker by Jim Tolpin
The Foundations of Better Woodworking by Jeff Miller.
I recently got a new job that has allowed me the income to begin woodworking, and I've been beefing up my library (and tools). The first book I mentioned (New Traditional) is included in the Getting Started in Handtools Value Pack which includes many books/ebooks, as well as some DVDs from Chris Schwarz (among others):
Mastering Handtools
Sawing Fundamentals
both of which I heartily recommend, even if you don't opt for that value pack.

-Just got this one and it covers a lot of fundamental's with a few projects for jigs etc.
and Made by Hand http://www.theunpluggedwoodshop.com/made-by-hand/the-book
-Similar theory but the projects are a little more advanced and interesting.
