The elements of style, fourth edition, Strunk and White, Longman Essential!
A Handbook for Scholars, revised edition (1992), Mary-Claire van Leunen, Oxford University Press
On Writing Well, 30th Anniversary Edition or later, William Zinseer, Collins
Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences, second edition, Siam
The Complete Plain Words, Sir Ernest Gowers, 1987 edition, Penguin This is Mary's favourite because she was first introduced to it by one of her lecturers as an undergraduate. It has very enjoyable discussions of "the idiom of the Celt" :) She keeps having to buy new copies because she lends them to people and never gets them back.
