Does anyone recommend any 'how to write' books, other then the Writer's and Artists one, of course. :)

I'm starting a new book and looking for some new writing tips that will help my work flow easier..

Thanks

Thanks for all the answers :) Considering that I've already written a novel I know the basics, however you insights were helpful.

Oh, and if Adrian's reading list is a bit heavy going, try Wannabe A Writer by Jane Wenham-Jones for light relief. She tells you how she did it and then tells you not to follow her example! But it's a good read.

I think I'm right in saying Elements of Style is American and therefore not completely correct for British English. I think The Oxford Style Manual is our equivalent.
