Wrote a book about those 2 connections. See the

1) Fine Woodworking magazine has had numerous articles on the subject; see:
http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/fw_feat_joiner.asp
for some articles. Search the index for others.
2) There are lots of books out there (Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking, etc.).
