Quite old now, but invaluable in working out structuring, pacing, characterisation: the fundamentals of a novel whether best-selling or not. Deals with viewpoint, multiple viewpoints, dialogue, first/third person, endings, and all sorts of other stuff you might not think about. Including the importance of getting details right (research) and grammar right, too.

(It didn't help me write a best selling novel; I was just curious to see what he had to say when I bought the book. I'm more a non-fiction writer.)
It does cover some good stuff in thumbnail though.
