"Elements of Style" by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White
A good resource. Some of the suggestions are a little out-dated (for instance, I didn't realize that 'utilize' was not always considered a word), but this book contains a lot of good suggestions, especially for the beginning writer. Perhaps a way to read this book would be to check the rules you are not sure about.
About the Authors: William Strunk Jr. wrote this book for his English classes; E.B. White was one of his students. Many years after taking Strunk's class, White got a hold of the "little black book" and revised it.
