I highly recommend the books listed below. I still have much to learn about orchestrating a novel, but they have proved to be invaluable. They are full of excellent tips and examples.
For novices, 'Aspects of The Novel' by E. M. Forster
'The Elements of Style' (Fourth Edition) by William Strunk jr. and E. B. White (Charlotte's Web)
'Learning to Write Fiction from the Masters' by Barnaby Conrad (In my opinion the best creative writing guide on the planet)
'Solutions for Novelists - The Secrets of a Master Editor' by Sol Stein. (Sol was a friend of Barnaby Conrad)
'Sol Stein on Writing' by Sol Stein.
'The Art and Craft of Novel Writing' by Oakley Hall.
'How to Read and Why' by Professor Harold Bloom.
Check the reviews on Amazon. You can get cheap second hand copies.
They are the best books I have read on how to write.
I wasn't impressed with the Stephen King book on writing. There are much better books with excellent examples or the writers' craft.
One of the best books I have read on writing is Stephen King's On Writing - A Memoir of the Craft. It's full of useful tips, and quite funny in parts.
