This came from when I attended college. It is a great reference for all my future novels. I recommend having this or something similar to guide you through your writing endeavors or choice of APA style.

Again, I had to read this for my English Composition class. I liked this one better then Wordsmith honestly.

Language and style for writing. Designed to be a quick-quick reference. Each is preceded by a laminated page with a tab sticking out - almost as though they expect this book to be thrown around a college dorm room and then still be useful... Oh, and I'm pretty sure Little and Brown are names, not descriptors. My copy is medium sized and white.

This was required for my college writing class first semester of college. I have found it very usuful over the years. I still turn to it on information about citing, formating, research, thesis statements, and paragraphing. If I am going for a handbook, this is the one I use.

Advanced Composition class. Very useful guide on writing essays.

I'm sure it's awsome if anything like my twenty year old handbook from college.
