Eats Shoots & Leaves

by Lynne Truss

Eats Shoots & Leaves Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An entertaining and impassioned guide to perfect punctuation, hilariously lambasting shopkeepers whose signs feature too many, or not enough, apostrophes and the proliferation of txt spk, and its increasing influence over general language usage. Extensive feature coverage, including multi-part serialisation in "The Daily Telegraph" and a repeat broadcast of the author's four-part Radio 4 programme.

Synopsis:

The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. A witty, entertaining impassioned guide to perfect punctuation, for everyone who cares about precise writing. Not a primer but a 'zero tolerance' manual for direct action. Lynne Truss's 4 part radio programme on punctuation to be rebroadcast on publication. Multi part serialisation under negotiation in The Telegraph.
