Can anyone suggest a book or website that'll get me started in the right
direction.

I loved my 1680 (until I killed it)
Here's a few suggestions;
Books:
Shop-Tested Scrollsaw Techniques;
Anything by Patrick Spielman to do with scrollsaws;
There's a great video on e-bay (A - Z Fretworking) that you can get for about
$15 (shipping included).
There's a ton of great websites and user groups, msn's Free Scrollsaw Patterns
is a great group to get started with.
As far as websites here's a few;
http://www.scrollsawer.com/scrollerscorner.htm
http://www.saw-online.com/
http://www.mikesworkshop.com/ (also a great source for the very best blades).
One word of warning.....scrolling can be addictive .
