I hope you get the book (One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal is the first one, there are two others, Encore and Cubed. The first has hexagon and octagon information the second two concentrate on hexagons and the cubes, using two fabrics, interlocking, introducing triangles etc etc...)
You need at least one of them, not only for the construction details but also for all the design tips and ideas for borders, layout etc... It's a small investment for such a diverse and adaptable technique - I've made I think around 17 or 18 of these so I think I've had my money's worth from the three books!
You can also look here on the board at the Topic List which features all members' finished tops and quilts.
