Just decided to post some good books about scriptwriting.
The first one is definetely "Story" by Robert McKee. I may say is not for begginers, and is also for begginers... Confused?
Well, It's a scriptwriting bible but you need some knowledge about scriptwriting as it's an advanced book, the good point is, if you don't have any knowledge about scriptwriting you will learn from "Story", the bad news is that you probably will need to read it two or three times to get all the information. Anyway is always good to read again to refresh the good practices.
As a top book is not cheap but it worth the value. You can find it here at amazon :

If you have lot's of Money and the lucky to be near a city where Robert McKee gives his conference, be ready to pay about 500 pounds for a place and also deal with the legendary bad humor from the grumpy McKee. He charges fines if you talk during his lectures! For real! And don't even dream to cough, sneeze or is going to ask you to leave the room! True fact! Mobiles... don´t use not even in silence, not even texting, you will pay a fine and He even incentivate others to denounce you, so they can receive part of the fine! (True story!)
Other than that... He really knows about the business.
