If you need a terse guide to writing style, try this one from 1918 by William Strunk.
"It aims to give in a brief space the principal requirements of plain English style. It aims to lighten the task of instructor and student by concentrating attention (in Chapters II and III) on a few essentials, the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated. The numbers of the sections may be used as references in correcting manuscript."
[Thanks to Dick Moore for this.]
