So, I have a ten pound book token, and was thinking about using it to buy a good writing book.
Any suggestions? Anything on the whole writing shebang is good, or ones that deal with fantasy writing, or ones that are just plain helpful.

This may not apply to TLG, but if anybody hasn't read Strunk and White (The Elements of Style), it's high time you did. It's a classic for a reason. So very useful...

I bought that at the beginning of this school year because my Lit teacher told me we would need some sort of grammar reference, and I hadn't gotten that yet. I think it is hardly reading material? Of course I've only flipped through it. It might be great reference, but even then it's not like it hits every possible question you could have about the English language. I find a college text book on writing to be more useful (or even the internet) when I have a question. But this is just my opinion.
More than anything, if TL wants to read something, I'm not certain that is readable.Great for bumbles, though!
