Are you confounded by commas, addled by apostrophes, or queasy
about quotation marks? Do you believe a bracket is just a support
for a wall shelf, a dash is something you make for the bathroom,
and a colon and semicolon are large and small intestines? If so,
language humorists Richard Lederer and John Shore (with the
sprightly aid of illustrator Jim McLean), have written the perfect
book to help make your written words perfectly precise and
punctuationally profound.
Don't expect "Comma Sense" to be a dry, academic tome. On the
contrary, the authors show how each mark of punctuation--no matter
how seemingly arcane--can be effortlessly associated with a great
American icon: the underrated yet powerful period with Seabiscuit;
the jazzy semicolon with Duke Ellington; even the rebel apostrophe
with famed outlaw Jesse James. But this book is way more than a
flight of whimsy. When you've finished "Comma Sense, "you'll not
only have mastered everything you need to know about punctuation
through Lederer and Shore's simple, clear, and right-on-the-mark
rules, you'll have had fun doing so. When you're done laughing and
learning, you'll be a veritable punctuation whiz, ready to make
your marks accurately, sensitively, and effectively.
