A recent FWW had an article on it. I don't recall the issue number, but when I get a chance, I'll look it up.

Some of the DVD's I'd recommend:
http://www.robcosman.com/dvd.php
http://www.lonniebird.com/dovetail_dvd.htm
http://www.amazon.com/Dovetail-Drawer-Frank-Klausz/dp/1561587044

If you have a membership to Fine Woodworking past articles online (highly recommended), you can find a lot of information there.

Maurice,
You are probably refering to "Laying Out Dovetails" article in March/April 2007 issue.

Ian Kirby's book is also a good way to start. Practice is the key though.

I second the Rob Cosman selection. Both of them.
