Secondly, I can't think of one. No, really. I've read a bunch of books about how to write, and how to research, and how to edit, and none of them have been especially helpful to me. Probably the one I most enjoyed, though, is a little paperback called Fantasists on Fantasy, a compilation of essays by fantasy writers from George MacDonald to Susan Cooper and any number of other favorite authors of mine in between. I've read and re-read those essays many times.
