Scottie,
I just recently picked up woodworking as a hobby too, and don't have
many tools. One book that I've enjoyed very much is called

"The Complete Book of Woodworking: Detailed Plans for More Than 40
Fabulous Projects"
available on Amazon.com. I didn't see it on amazon.co.uk, but you
might be able to find it somewhere else. This book was very
informative and interesting, and was a great guide to starting out
woodworking.
I've heard very good things about Router books by Bill Hylton also, but
don't own any.
Good luck with your new hobby!
