Impressive list! I think you did a good job of boiling your suggestions down to the essence of what’s out there. I agree with most of the additions from your commenters, but I like the list you gave as is.

Which of these book might you recommend for becoming a better writer in general. I’m not looking to write a book or not even extensively blog. I would, however, love to hone my copy-writting and written communication skills. Suggestions from this list (or others).
