I also vote for "Code Complete". It is a remarkable (although excessively lenghy) work. If you don't want to face its 850+ pages, there's a smaller alternative:
Maguire, Steve (1993) Writing Solid Code. Microsoft Press.
These two books are classics by any definition (and both were written by "Steves" and published by Microsoft Press).
