The Penguin Guide to Punctuation by R.L. Trask
funny
informative
fast-paced
3.5
This book is Strunk & White's snarky, British cousin. It is an easy-to-read overview of correct punctuation usage. It includes comparisons of British and American style choices - helpful for an expat like me. Further, it includes strongly-worded commandments and admonishments, such as, "This silly practice [creating a second bibliography] is a pointless waste of time and paper."
I likely have a couple punctuation errors in the above. I would check through the book to make corrections if I were a patient and thoughtful writer.
