Do be careful of 'style guides'. Some of them are just that, a guide to writing in a particular style. While there is nothing wrong with that, they can be a bit full of themselves sometimes.
If you're more interested in what is 'correct' and 'incorrect', understandable by your target audience, then you don't necessarily want a style guide but a book focusing on that instead. For native english writers I've heard the Merriam Webster Dictionary of English Usage is a good source for how words are and aren't commonly used.
