What Do You Recommend to Students for a Reference Book for Technical Writing

[Payne, Janie A]

I'm just curious about which books you recommend to students to purchase for a reference book for technical writing.  I'm always looking for good ones for myself as well and have used three in the past.

The Handbook of Technical Writing
By Gerald J. Alred, Charles T. Brusaw, and Walter E. Oliu 

Franklin Covey Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication 
By Franklin Covey

The Harbrace College Handbook 
By Hodges, Whitten, Horner, and Webb

If you have any recommendations, I'd love to see them.  Thanks.
