The best book I have ever seen is called "A Novel Proposal". It's a life saver.

Writer's Market 2007 (or the updated version will be released in 2008) is a terrific guide for writers. Usually, you write a one page query letter to a publisher. It tells a little bit about your book, a little bit about your publishing credentials, and how your novel can contribute to the company. Never be cocky and say "I've written the next classic" or "I slaved over my desk for hours" when a publisher reads those lines - it's an automatic rejection. They don't really care if you spent eight years locked in your basement writing a novel. Leave them to judge if it is a next classic. Again Writer's Market will show you the format. Never make it longer than one page - a publisher will probably immediately push it aside.
