David Beasley
Published 1986 (Heinemann Educational Books)

Although this book has been out for some time it is a very useful
collection of basic techniques.  It may be difficult to get hold of but is worth checking bookstalls for. Starting with 'basic perspective' the book takes the student through gradually more advanced drawing skills to perspectives built on grids and orthographics.  The last section of the book includes a series of exercises to attempt.
