The Trask seems promising. I'll look into it, thanks!
All the rules can be summed up as follows:

1) Be consistent
2) Use punctuation to make the meaning of the text clear

You might not find a reference that covers both typographic conventions(right & left apostrophes, single or double quotation marks, en- and em-dashes, paragraph spacing and indent) and punctuation choices (where to place punctuation, oxford comma, etc.)
