"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" Description:
The Open Library:
Through sloppy usage, low standards, and now e-mail, we have made proper punctuation an endangered species. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, former editor Lynne Truss dares to say, in her delightfully urbane, witty and very English way, that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. If there are only pedants left who care, so be it. This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. From George Orwell shunning the semicolon, to New Yorker editor Harold Ross's epic arguments with James Thurbur over commas, this lively history makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions. --back cover
