There is a book in the Thames and HudsonManual with this title. Its written by Robert W Gill with i92 illustrations. Soft cover ISBN 0-5-500-68026-4.
First published 1973, revised 1983, last reprint 1985 and would have cost yo then £5.95...
Today via Ebay you could buy it for only One penny [ previously unread, as new] plus about £3 post & packaging...It might just contain ideas for your art too.
It is perhaps the las guide book to the art of architectural illustration before CAD [Computer Assisted Design] took over...Ad its one for the artists shelf to dive into from time to time.
Its a fascinating repository of some quite advanced perspective theory and it provides very useful information for illustrating people, objects, furniture, trees & transport...And a testament to a bygone generation's talents.
Its also catalogue of long gone professional illustrators kit

I've not seen Robert Gill's book on rendering with pen and ink, although the name seems familiar.
I bought a second hand edition of this book by Paul Hogarth recently.

It's worth looking at. It's mainly about techniques and the wide range of pens, pencils, marker pens that he uses There's no reference to perspective. I was once having a coffee in a cafe in France, I noticed there was a distinctive picture on the wall, it turned out to be his drawing of the cafe.
