Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage

[Diable Rouge]

Now, at last, my etymological ecstasy has reached a pinnacle of perfection, for the previous 32 years of existence without a copy of this legendary linguistic lexicon have been a pale shadow. Finally, a lifetime of confusion over the nature of the split infinitive has been succinctly eradicated, topics such as hackneyed phrases, diaereses, Gallicisms, and didacticisms are elucidated in layman's English, and all conveyed in a wry authorial style dismissive of pedantry. Sadly, newspaper articles are among the most egregious modern offenders in terms of mis-spelling, let alone grammatical errors, so Fowler should be a prerequisite on every subeditor's desk.
