Practical Orthotics for Chiropodists by T. Theodore Coates is one of the early orthotic textbooks for the chiropody (podiatry) profession, first published in 1983. There are still some interesting pearls in the book and it does have some limited availability on the second-hand market. The book was widely used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand by students at the time.
