The Economist's style guide
Has a lot of the same advice Strunk and White do, the difference is that it's not as memorable. I still have a little man in my head, grabbing his lapels and shouting, "omit needless words!"

The section on cliches is good, though. Like your father finding you with a smoke and making you finish the whole pack.
