What are the best books to look into in figuring out ways to better train your eye to see the construction of work?

I'm not lying when I say this, but this how to draw manga book really helps. It's not like the ones you find at a Miachel's and I have no idea who made it but if you wanna at least get to know more about bodies then this helps. After that maybe try making your own art style or something.

Actually that book is not that bad. It's from japan so it's not like the chris hart "how to draw manga" books. It's only BRIEFLY covers construction though. Mainly rendering through ink and tone.

Yea, it's not. It's way worse you faggot. chris hart's book is good, and its a shame that it STILL isn't on the sticky.

Different anon, just wanted to point out that most of this book is about how you draft and draw a manga and covers typical manga techniques like tones and inking, with only a small chapter on how to actually draw and construct things. So if the latter's what you're looking for, then I honestly doubt that particular book will be very useful to you.
Industrial Design-related books (like the one you linked) and Scott Robertson's stuff goes very much into construction and rendering, but if it's observation you want to improve, then looking into books on drawing from life/plein air might be more suitable. Also, books on animation, especially from the Golden Age (e.g. Preston Blair), go a lot into construction, even if it's for a cartoonier end-goal than you might be hoping for.
