Your local woodworking club or guild will most certainly have someone who will be happy to help you with the resawing & planing.
I followed Matt as he built the boxes on the internet. And I just got the book, which is very nicely done. Good explanatory text for every box, pictures, and tips/tricks. To be honest, this isn't a "how to" book. Yes, Matt talks about some of the techniques he learned and developed over time.
This book focuses primarily on the evolution of Matt's design aesthetic over the course of a year as he built a boatload of boxes. Very entertaining read! But not a tutorial.

I don't know if you ever bought this book, but I love the idea of building 52 boxes in a year. And I did recently buy the book. It's not exactly what I expected. I would call it more of a coffee table book than a design or woodworking book, but an interesting, if quick read.
Amazon lets you flip through a good number of pages.
I didn't see anything there that makes me want to purchase it.
