Not bad...

Nice book on box making images, not as much detail into assembly as I'd like. OK under $15 delivered.

The Art of Making Elegant Wooden Boxes

I found this book to very good on explaning how to make different kinds of joints, hinges, and box desings. It gives you many good desings to work off of and shows you how to use your tools properly. One thing that I did not like about the book was that it just shows you how make these boxes by just using power tools, but never tells you how to make them by just using hand tools, even though they do encourage it.
