My daily bread
As someone who writes and edits for a living, these are the everyday tools of my trade. This is my shelf of 'most frequently used books', above my desk.
The Bill Bryson book - Troublesome Words - is a particularly useful reference because he was a sub-editor at The Times before he turned to authorship. Very good for reminding me of the difference between 'forever' and 'for ever' and 'that' and 'which', for example!
