This kind of reminds me that, although I'll read a lot about programming and startups, I haven't learned anything about writing (formally) in many many years.

This kind of reminds me that, although I'll read a lot about programming and startups, I haven't learned anything about writing (formally) in many many years.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for books about writing non-fiction? The OP refers to a few book about writing fiction, which sound interesting (and that may be helpful), but I was wondering if there was something similar that targeted maybe copy-writing and just general business writing.
