If you like jokes about grammar, this book is definitely for you. I wasn't at all interested in reading it until seeing Mary Norris speak; she was so funny I immediately joined the queue for the book at my local library.

And oh, boy, I was not disappointed. As someone who finds The New Yorker style to be overly baroque and tedious, I thought I wouldn't be especially interested in one of its copyeditor's opinions. I was wrong. Her opinions are the best, and her frequent swearing, references to beer, and irreverent jokes about the canon made me delighted to share a profession with her.
