What a delightful book. It is mostly a memoir of the author's years working at the New Yorker magazine, with some lovely bits about grammar and style guides tossed in for good measure.

Norris manages to hit the high points of modern grammar issues, and how the copy editing world has changed, and how hard it is to get wooden No. 1 pencils nowadays.

I'd recommend it to editors, grammar enthusiasts, readers, and writers.
