Body Parts is a pretty good resource, but lacking in practical information. Some of the poses are also very unnatural looking.

Another issue I had is that there is only one male model in the whole book. It would have been good to have a wider variety of body types and more poses by male figures.

This has a wonderful section on drawing hands!
