I'm not sure exactly what kind of chair you are talking about but there are 3 books that always get me by. Make a Chair From a Tree by John Alexander

Green Woodworking a hands-on approach by Drew Langsner and Jack Hills Country Chair Making.

Jack Hill's book has the most plans. Drew Langsner and John Alexander teach you all the techniques you need to build a chair and there are a few plans in those books.

An addition to that list

Bob Hackett

>Add "The Art of Chair-making" by Kerry Pierce to that list and you`ve got it pretty well covered.
