On Writing Well — William Zinsser

The definitive guide to nonfiction writing. Zinsser's principles — clarity, simplicity, brevity — are the ones I come back to every time I'm editing a draft that's gotten too clever for its own good.

The classic guide to writing nonfiction. Clear, direct, and still the best book on the subject after 40 years.
