Dan McCracken (probably spelled wrong) seems (in my memory) to have written a Fortran book year. They always seemed to be well written.

I can't resist this temptation to put in a plug for my old
undergraduate alma mater, Shippensburg State College (now known
as Shippenburg University of Pennsylvania). Two of my ex-professors,
J. Winston Crawley and Charles E. Miller have just put out a book
on Fortran programming which I consider very good. The book is
primarily meant to be used as an introductory instructional text rather
than a reference text. It emphasises good programming concepts (structure,
modularity, documentation, etc.) but still presents a good
workable understanding of the Fortran language. I'm not familiar enough
with Fortran77 to say it exhaustively covers the language.
Anyone having interest in or need of such a book should check it out.
Sorry but I don't have the book with me right now and the exact title
currently escapes me. The authors and subject should be enough for you
to locate it. If not, contact me and I'll get you the exact title.
Wish SSC, oops I mean SUP (or is it just SU) was on the net.
