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.

William Zinsser's "On Writing Well," a million times over.

Also, Joseph William's "Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace." http://www.amazon.com/Style-Lessons-Clarity-Grace-10th/dp/02...

The Copywriter's Handbook is a decent book.
