A book often overlooked is "Clear Technical Writing"
by John Brogan. The book was printed in 1973, and the
last I heard is still used by Brogan with his seminars.
The book is not about how to create documents, but how to
use words and craft sentences. I learned how to write using
this book 20 years ago and use it now in my business writing classes.
This book offers grizzled writers a way to refresh their skills
and teaches beginners by using before and after examples.
