The single best resource for correctly citing anything in any format that I was able to find in four years of college.
Diana Hacker is one of the experts on style. I prefer her larger edition, but this one works well too.
Not as complete as "Little Brown" but more portable. MLA cowers in fear of you when you're armed with this.
Not the best grammar guide ever. But its very portable, which is a plus.

Ah, I've spent a lot of quality time with this little book. It is our assigned text for our info lit classes. I have to say that it is pretty darned handy, with basic information about citation styles and sound wisdom about conducting library research for just $10.
Oh, yeah, and Barbara Fister has been the person revising it in recent editions :)

This is an indispensable tool. If you write papers, essays, reviews, etc., this is the book for you. It has concise entries on style, citations (MLA, Chicago, APA), and more. A handy backpack staple. The larger full style manual is also excellent as a desk reference.
I am constantly using this book in my classroom. If you have grammar questions, APA issues, or MLA issues then you should use this book. Diane Hacker also has a website, if you just need a quick reference.
What can I say? I'm not reading my book club's book this month because I am reading this book and others preparing each week for a Basic Writing Refresher workplace workshop I am teaching this month.
This has been a very helpful resource when I quickly needed to look up a certain usage rule. It was particularly helpful in doing papers in styles I don't normally work with, like APA or Chicago.
Pocket reference - if you have big pockets. Clarity, grammar, punctuation and mechanics, research, documentation, and usage/grammatical terms.
For those of you native speakers who write English as a second language, Hacker is the book for you.
This is an incredibly helpful little book. It's small and it's explanations are concise.
