[1] a book of Brian W. Kernighan (of Princeton University and Bell Labs, the "K" in `awk`) and Rob Pike (of Bell Labs, inventor of C etc.).
[2] with adaptations to make it suitable to Fortran.
[3] working in progress, thus incomplete; ugly, thus consider to ignore it.
[4] a book of Metcalf, Reid, and Cohen. Mainly in the textbook format for programmers new to Fortran, it has many a great advice on writing better and more correct programs.
[5] a book of Rouson, Xia, and Xu. A lot of stuff on design patterns and their implementation in Fortran (with complementary examples in C++).
[6] interesting book, although some of its styles are more Fortran 90 oriented.
