+1 for Style: TCAG It's one of the few books that approaches the topic in a systematic, structured way. Not a rehash of platitudes like "try and be concise". I know I need to "omit needless words". What I don't know is which words are "needless". Style answers that with linguistics and cognitive psychology.
