Oh, man, there are hundreds. You can go to Amazon and buy used-good as new for nearly nothing plus $3.99 shipping. One that you might look for is all about different joints and cuts. That's a good start.

Your friend has a long way to go before any furniture making is going to occur. Cabinets are easy by comparison. Not much, if any at all is square on furniture. Cabinets are 99% square cuts on flat stock.
