Books on Calligraphy

Does anyone have any favorite books on lettering and calligraphy? I know it's pretty foundational, but I found an opensource copy of George Bickham's Universal Penman on the internet archive. This books is still my go to for ornamental and decorative script: https://archive.org/details/gri_33125008538056/mode/2up

that book is so incredible. I hadn't heard of it. It's not calligraphy but just lettering: EC Matthew's book "Sign Painting Course" is awesome; he is a favorite author amongst old-school sign painters. Also, I love Better Letters Magazine (BLAG). It's an incredible resource; their newsletter and their digital/physical magazine. AND the old book "Henderson's Sign Painting" book by John Ohnimus is so good. (The Matthews and Ohnimus books are available on archive . org - I'd link to them, but I think it gets tagged as spam - posted this comment before with links, and it got flagged. The books are Google-able though!).

Title treatment for an upcoming poster project... Hand done was the only way to go!
