Paul has an earlier book called, “Working Wood 1&2: The Artisan course.” Despite the name, it is one paperback volume. Amazon shows it for a ridiculous price, but Lee Valley lists it with a reasonable price. This book would be perfect for you. The tool book (recently released) describes tools and their use, but the earlier book is really an ordered curriculum. It starts by describing the basic set of essential tools and then proceeds through reducing and shaping via making a spatula and stool, and then works progressively through a small wall shelf, dovetailed box, table, and bench. Using this book to give an order and context plus the videos online here (even without a subscription) would do the trick for you.
