- Two books which come to mind are (because I have them in the bookcase
- right by my desk!):
-
- "The Elements of Programming Style", Kernighan and Plauger,
- McGraw-Hill 1978, isbn 0-07-034207-5
- (not really about Fortran programming but programming in general, and
- yes, it is the Kernighan of "C" fame)
-
- "Effective Fortran 77", Metcalf, Oxford University Press 1985,
- isbn 0-19-853709-3
