I'd mentioned this book to the attendees at the June WMNK meeting. It's written by a British author who laments the abuse of punctuation she sees in the U.K., but it's equally as applicable here in the United States.

If you're a "stickler" who cringes when you see a sign advertising "Egg's $.99 ", this is the book for you. I find myself giggling at the examples of unintentionally funny prose caused by the misplacement of punctuation.

The book has an official website where one can read an excerpt from it.
