<p>For some basic toys that wouldn't require a lot of wood or materials, I found "Zany Wooden Toys That Whiz, Spin, Pop and Fly" by Bob Gilsdorf is good for learning simple techniques. None of them really require a lot of tools (but good tools make them MUCH easier). Great for gifts for kids and ways to use up your scraps.</p>

WoodWorkers Book Club has ceased doing business for about a year now............................<br />
How about trying Canadian Home Workshop or Canadian Workshop. Both offer easy and useful projects, especially for the beginner.<br />

One of the first books I bought after getting my Kreg jig was <b>The Pocket Hole Drilling Jig Project Book</b> by Danny Proulx (ISBN-10: 1558706879 , ISBN-13: 978-1558706873). There are some really neat projects and good info in this book. I, too, am a subscriber to Woodsmith, Shopnotes, and some online mags like Fine Woodworking.<br />
