Very Good Condition. Almost "Like New!"
Style by Joseph Williams changed how I write. I don't stick to it strictly, but I keep the rules in mind thoroughly.
Read, read, then write a bunch. Write with a plan, but without too much regard to grammar. Then, when you revise, follow Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace... helped a bunch for me.

This is a wonderful book on writing. Find an older edition for cheap or get it online. It goes in depth into exactly what differentiates good prose from bad. The section on grammar clarifies what a lot of other classic style books (Strunk & White) get wrong.
Also check out Sense of Style by Steven Pinker for a recent scientific approach to writing. He has a few lectures on it online if you want something more podcast-y.
In the US.
I'm not american.
The Elements of Style by Strunk and White is a classic. It's useful for rote memorization of grammar rules and fundaments. Once you've got a decent grasp of those rules, pick up Williams and Bizup's Style, which is better for practical use.
Edit: Silly me — I didn't actually address your request, OP. You probably want a book on sentence diagramming. I haven't read any, but you might check out the top results on Amazon.
