Those are just some of the books I recommend. PM me if you want more.

Edit: Rules, read them please.

User edit: All right, look. Downloading books by dead people is not "hurting the industry," as these books went out of print 30-50+ years ago and all of the authors are DECEASED. Not to mention I took special care not to link to the books in mind. (I did read the rules, took mind of not linking, and didn't realize that just talking about it was considered "hurting the industry.") You can't find good art instruction books in stores nowadays, it's all "How to Draw Manga XVII" or something.
