Portrait Photography book

I normally do not do many portraits (mostly landscape) and was interested in picking up a book. I am looking for recommendations of the book or author of books (I know they are always updating) on portrait photography that is the most thorough and complete. Again, I am not looking to pick up a bunch of books (have too many) just the one that is the most thorough and complete.

THanks for any help!!

Zeltsman Apporach to Traditionla Classic Portraiture
Read it very carefully and at least twice, even the chapter which was written with film and a wet darkroom is relevant.
This really is a gem and nearly is lost. I would strongly suggest you copy and paste each page in word doc or whatever you use to make a permenant copy because if the web site above shuts down this book is gone for ever.

Is a more modern take but you still need to know the basics.
Back in the 50/60/70/80ies most of the portraits you see were made this way and the posing body /head positioning is still relavent today. Look at any good recent wedding images and you will see what I mean.
