Riassunto

-- For people who've read Eats, Shoots and Leaves but who still don't know where the apostrophe should go -- Readable, step-by-step guide by published writers -- Neither dumbed-down, nor dry and academic -- filling a gap in the market This is a user-friendly guide to punctuation which gives step-by-step explanations in clear, readable English. The authors cover all the basics, including sentences and full stops, commas, apostrophes, colons and semi-colons, brackets, hyphens, question marks, inverted commas and paragraphs. It is written for people who work in business or education and need to write professional reports, essays or business letters; creative writers and authors; or simply those who feel they missed out at school. There are examples and quizzes (with answers) throughout. Differences between US and UK punctuation are addressed, making this a useful tool for those learning international English as a second or foreign language. Presented in a pocket-sized hardback with thick paper slipcover, and with witty line illustrations, this book will also be an ideal Christmas gift.
