About this product

Product Information

This 'engaging history of punctuation' (Wall Street Journal) is not only the first history of its kind, but a complete guide on how to use English punctuation. Behind every punctuation mark lies a thousand stories. The punctuation of English, marked with occasional rationality, is founded on arbitrariness and littered with oddities. For a system of a few dozen marks it generates a disproportionate degree of uncertainty and passion, inspiring organisations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and sending enthusiasts, correction-pens in hand, in a crusade against error. Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit, clarity and commonsense. He gives a fascinating account of the origin and progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one and a half millennia, and he offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion and context.

    Exactly as described. Okd Moores Almanac 2025 . In brand new condition. This was dispatched and arrived in good time. And was packaged safely. , very happy! I tried to get this in my local WH Smith store but it had sold out. Most online retailers like Amazon add £3 or £4 postage so this was a brilliant price.🙂🙂🙂

    The book arrived quickly and well packaged. Unfortunately on reading it, I found the book was damaged on a few pages (not spotted before but probably in the printing.) I contacted the seller who has agreed to replace the book. I had a response almost immediately. Excellent service!! Book a great read too.
