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. George

Stolzenberg, is very fixed, and doesn't go into why a whole lot. Why is That so Funny? I loved, but it is hard to actually work through without other people. However, it does have the best explanation of the art of clowning and its relation to the rest of the performing arts and the world that I have found.
I have been reading and practicing with the Kipnis book. It is really good.
