The one I can't do without is "45 Master Characters" by Victoria Lynn Schmidt. I have several and will look them out tomorrow, although there are MANY around. Unfortunately some of them are pants!

Right - hope these help:

The Writer's Idea Book by Jack Heffron

Fiction First Aid by Raymond Obstfeld

Solutions for Writers by Sol Stein

And it seems a wee bit obvious, but a decent dictionary, thesaurus and grammar/punctuation-type guide are invaluable!
