TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The Morsberger book is available at Barnes and Noble online (average asking
price around $20). Finally a good use for online shopping -- finding out of
print books!

The best one still in print is probably Edward D. Johnson's _Handbook of
Good English_.
The best one no longer in print is probably Robert E. Morsberger's
_Commonsense Grammar and Style_.
