The Author’s Toolkit by Mary Embree, third edition, published by Allworth Press.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone starting the process of writing a fiction or nonfiction book.  The book organization is very good.  The writing is also very good.  It covers almost all the bases one needs to get started.  I did not read it from cover to cover at first but I have pretty much completed the book by jumping around to parts that I needed at the time.  The only criticism is the author fails to include a review of possible writing software.  I had to find on my own about Scrivener which I strongly recommend for you to consider.
