Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss |
An erudite and amusing historical survey of punctuation from Charlemagne to George OrwelI and beyond and also a plea to preserve the traditional system of printing convention before it gets completely swept up into the greedy maw of the Internet and destroyed forever. Not only for language sticklers, it is wonderful for those snatched bits of breathing time between chores or even just for a 'toes up' on the sofa with a drink, very restoring!
