Review: Copyediting: A Practical Guide  

If you could own only one book on copyediting, Karen Judd's Copyediting: A Practical Guide would be an excellent choice. Even if you already own the second edition, published in 1990, you will certainly find useful updates in the new third edition.

Review: The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications  

The Copyeditor's Handbook is a solid resource for novice and experienced copyeditors alike. Although it functions well as a textbook and a general learning tool, it certainly is not a replacement for The Chicago manual of style, nor does it purport to be. It's a book that acknowledges an assortment of vexing copyediting questions and offers multiple answers to most of them.
