I spotted this at my local library. It is a good introduction with reasons to add power carving to your 'toolbox.' There are several projects included.

Even though the book is 30 years old, I saw no big change in the technology from the tools described in the book. The biggest difference is the size of the tools, and more modern tools use batteries or are rechargeable.
