Swapped out from the book cart at work.

I read this some years ago. My thoughts then: This was a fun little read. As a former English major, I really appriciate where the author is coming from. Every time I see a misplaced apostrophe I cringe, so this book was perfect for me. It's definitely not for everybody - I can see how most people just wouldn't understand - but it is great for all those sticklers out there. The author does come across as a self-important know-it-all, but I don't know how she could have avoided that, given the topic. She obviously has an excellent sense of humor; I chuckled more than a few times.

Picked this up at the BCinDC BookCrossing meetup yesterday! Considering all the writing groups I'm part of, I can always find a good home for this book. It's a creative, enjoyable, humorous guide to punctuation. I'm definitely one of those punctuation sticklers!
