Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For over a decade, The Well-Tempered Sentence has provided instruction and pleasure to the wariest student and the most punctilious scholar alike. Now Karen Elizabeth Gordon has revised and enlarged her classic handbook with fuller explanations of the rules of punctuation, additional whimsical graphics, and further character development and drama — all the while redeeming punctuation from the perils of boredom. For anyone who has despaired of opening a punctuation handbook (but whose sentences despair without one), The New Well-Tempered Sentence will teach you clearly and simply where to place a comma and how to use an apostrophe. And as you master the elusive slashes, dots, and dashes that give expression to our most perplexing thoughts, you will find yourself in the grip of a bizarre and beguiling comedy of manners. Long-time fans will delight in the further intrigues of cover girl Loona, the duke and duchess, and the mysterious Rosie and Nimrod. The New Well-Tempered Sentence is sure to entertain while teaching you everything you want to know about punctuation. Never before has punctuation been so much fun!* Synopsis:The revised edition of this classic punctuation handbook for "the innocent, the eager, and the doomed" has been expanded to make it even more useful and thorough. Includes enough instruction and entertainment to satisfy the most punctilious scholar and the wariest student. Illus.
