I have a copy of the 1950 edition of Perrin's Guide (it was my mom's college textbook) and find it very useful. It is well-organized and gives good advice on how to write effective sentences and coherent paragraphs. It also discusses how to do research and take notes and write term papers. Makes a good companion to Warriner's English Grammar and Composition.
