Greetings, Stewart - I have a book on notation which covers a lot of ground, and which I can highly recommend:
Music notation, a manual of modern practice. Read, Gardner. Boston, Crescendo Publishers, 1972. ISBN : 087597080X. The book is the most thorough I've seen, goes deeply into various aspects of notation, and is quite readable. I used to do a lot of hand notating, and I found the book valuable. LilyPond does a good job of documenting the process of notation, but I still refer back to Read frequently, usually either to clarify something in LilyPond or to clarify something I come across in music I'm currently playing. I still enjoy notating by hand, and regard it as a valuable skill for a musician.

A book containing rules/tips/do/don'ts would be quite a useful investment I think.
