Try: 

Hodges, E. (ed.) 1989. The Guild handbook of scientific illustration. Van
Nostrand Reinhold. ISBN 0-442-23681-6;

CBE Scientific Illustration Committee. 1988. Illustrating science:
standards for publication. Council of Biology Editors (now Council of
Science Editors). ISBN 0-914340-05-0.

I am not sure, but newer editions of these books may be available.
