I really liked the Kipnis book. It's very concise and covers all the real nuts and bolts of the art. Good for chumps like me!
I'm not sure if I'd be tempted by the Stolzenberg book. I wasn't too impressed with his "how to be funny" book. It was a bit shallow unlike "Why is that so funny?" which was probably to deep for me. If you liked the Jon Wright book you'll probably like "Improv" by Keith Johnstone.
