I saw a picture/infographic on /lit/ concerning various books dealing with the art of writing - concrete advice, theories of style etc. It was around a dozen of covers put together.

Anyone have it?

So if I were to start reading some of these, which one should I start with?

elements of style is proven to be good, the rest could be schlock. copywriter's handbook is also decent and stephen king's on writing provides some insight into drafts.

The other Frey one and How not to write a novel are good. King's On Writing is entertaining but not much use as a practical guide. The Elements of Style is outdated.
