I would also like to reccommend "Modern English Usage" by H. W. Fowler
Oxford U. Press, for its wit and wisdom.  Written 70 years ago, the
rules and ideas remain for today's usage.  Strunk & White is a nice
little book, but more suited for English 101 or Freshman exposition
classes.  If you really want to dig it out, Fowler or Follet will
provide you with more than enough material, plus Fowler's wit (see
split infinitives) will make the digging more enjoyable.
