Hogarths books are stylised but very informative, you should be able to find them anywhere :)

elliot goldfinger - human anatomy for artists (amazon etc). A great book with informative photos that isolate each muscle and its origin/insertion points - allowing you to study individual elements of the anatomy but also see their relationship to the whole. Found (find) it very helpful. Good luck :P

George Brigman I really liked because it was kinda sketchy, it made me interpret things my own way.

Davincis Sketchbooks are also still interesting to this day and you can usually find a decent one in the bargain bin locally.
