entertaining surprise bestseller 'Obsessive, entertaining, passionate,
this book is a delight and a must-read for anyone interested in the future
– and the past - of the language.' Reviewing it in the Observer,

The Art of Punctuation

Punctuation can make all the difference between a
good piece of writing and a superb piece of writing. In "The Art of
Punctuation", Noah Lukeman explores and demystifies each punctuation
mark in turn. From the punchiness of the full stop to the unacknowledged
flexibility of the question mark, the manifold powers of punctuation are
revealed in this practical yet engaging guide.
Our
reviewer said: 'Lukeman is writing as much about syntax as he
is about punctuation, and has failed to notice that the punctuation acts
to guide a reader’s understanding of how a sentence has been put
together.'
