Cutebun's tutorial here on the board is a fantastic way to get into OBW. I haven't done one yet (have the fabric!), but I've read through all of her tutorial threads and feel like I have a good hold on what I need to do (let's see if I feel the same when I *actually* do it! LOL). I have no intentions to buy a OBW book - though I am sure there is a lot of useful information in them. (I think the book is actually called One Block Wonders or something to that effect - I know there are a couple of them from the same author)
