Reference Books

We have our Useful Websites list, but I was thinking that perhaps people might have favorite reference books or helpful writing books that they find useful. Here's where you can post them. I will eventually turn this post into a file and upload the list to the "Files" section of the group.

"Techniques of the Selling Writer"
By Dwight Swain
ISBN-13: 9780806111919

To me this is a MUST HAVE for any writer. It is easy to understand and provides a blueprint of how to construct a story, sustain conflict, and inject emotion into your writing. If you only have one writing reference book on your shelf, make it this one.
