I was very impressed with Lois Keener Ventura’s “Building Beautiful Boxes with your Band Saw”. It is very narrow in focus but for that particular type of item I don’t think you can find anything better. The whole book is a step-by-step direction on how to make some great band saw boxes. Ventura starts with wood selection and works her way through finishing and how to line the drawers.

For that particular type of item, I don’t think it can be beat. For general discussions of broader aspects of woodworking, I think the Taunton series is the most comprehensive and clear.
