The most famous book on prose is "the elements of style" but is anachronistic IMO. I propose to read "The Sense of Style" by Pinker instead: https://www.amazon.com/Sense-Style-Thinking-Persons-Writing/...

I just read Steven Pinker's "The Sense of Style" and found it to be an excellent resource on this topic.
