This book was fun! I can't remember how it popped up on my radar, but when I found a copy at the local library book fair, I happily paid to snatch it (that book pile is ever tottering and never reducing). I am not sure it made any earth shattering changes in my punctuation, but it did give me more confidence in what I do use--- and allowed me insight into a copy editors world. Mary Norris explains different punctuation and how to use it while also sharing anecdotes about working as a copy editor and her opinions on different trends/ways of editing. I found each chapter to be interesting. I have to admit commas still have my pencil hovering over the paper, but at least she admitted it is more of a style thing with not true SET rules.
