Eats, Shoots and Leaves
If you haven't seen the book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (http://bit.ly/8CHze9), you're missing something great. It's a funny, savvy, and fascinating look at punctuation abuses and how to avoid them. Written by Brit Lynne Truss, the book explains the ins and outs of commas, semi-colons, and those greatly misunderstood apostrophes. Hysterically funny and dead-on correct, this is a must-read for authors and editors and especially for those who want to become one or the other.

If you want to enjoy Ms. Truss even more, have a look at her three children's books. You learn about the comma, apostrophe and the rest of the punctuation marks, but with hilarious illustrations elucidating the point.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! Here's a link to a page on Amazon with all of her books:
