I'm British and the problem with Fowler's is that it's very difficult to use as a reference tool but not a book one could happily read beginning to end. It is fine for 'dipping into' during bored moments. The best easy reference for good English that I have is: "The Good English Guide; English Usage in the 1990s" compiled and written by Godfrey Howard. You could probably pick this up from Amazon second hand; although it's old, Shrunk and White's book is older.
Until you pointed this out, I was unaware that S and W were American.
