Are there some good books about scriptwriting to study?
After a little googling I found this:
The Complete Book of Scriptwriting
What are other good examples?

I think 'Screenplay - the Foundations of Screenwriting' by Syd Field is considered to be "The Bible" in this area. Great book.

William Goldman, author of The Princess Bride and the script for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, wrote Adventures in the Screen Trade and Which Lie Did I Tell, both of which are essentially memoirs that have insights into how he became a successful screenwriter. (They're also a lot of fun to read.)
