dramatic and entertaining account of some of the greatest works of literature, a

| A Dash of Style: The Art and Mastery of Punctuation by Noah Lukeman | |
 |
The first practical and accessible guide to the art of punctuation for creative
writers. Punctuation reveals the writer: haphazard commas, for example, reveal
haphazard thinking; clear, lucid breaks reveal clear, lucid thinking.
Punctuation can be used to teach the writer how to think and how to write. This
short, practical book shows authors the benefits that can be reaped from
mastering punctuation: the art of style, sentence length, meaning, and economy
of words.

diet. Penguin Paperback $16.00 |
