This is an excellent book for drawing. There is at least one newer edition now.
There is another, written by an artist with an entirely different motive.
"The Zen of Seeing" drawn and handwritten by Frederick Franck. 1973.
Vintage Books, a Division of Random House. No ISBN listed.
He makes the case for there being a vast difference between looking at something and really "seeing" it. After reading the book twice, I understood that he was describing the left/right shift.
Right side felt "meditative" to him and that was what he would encourage his students to attempt.
You might score one for cheap in ABEBooks.com They claim 6 million titles.
