First published in 1905, German poet Christian Morgenstern's Im Reich der Interpunktionen (In the Land of Punctuation) is a comic poem on the flow of language--and the breaks in it. Punctuation signs are markers of pauses, interruptions, asides and stops. But they also point to intonation, intent and emotion ... a fact used brilliantly by Morgenstern to turn them into characters with their own agendas, in a drama that careens towards an inevitable end. It is a fun romp, and yet the political undertones are unmistakable, suggesting menacing systems of control. Adding a new dimension to the connection between marks and meaning, graphic designer Rathna Ramanathan illustrates this tranlated version of the poem with punctuation signs. She evokes older traditions like calligrams and the art of the Russian Constructivists, while developing her own ingenious--and very contemporary--idiom. Her visual grammar balances bold experimentation with precise communication, creating an artist's book at the crossroads of language, graphic design and politics. This signed, limited edition book has been silkscreen-printed and bound by hand on recycled handmade paper, at Tara Books' print workshop, run on fair trade practices."--Back cover.

We all know the basics of punctuation. Or do we? A look at most neighborhood signage tells a different story. Through sloppy usage and low standards on the internet, in email, and now text messages, we have made proper punctuation an endangered species. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, former editor Lynne Truss dares to say, in her delightfully urbane, witty, and very English way, that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, this lively history makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with.

This 'engaging history of punctuation' (Wall Street Journal) is not only the first history of its kind, but a complete guide on how to use English punctuation. Behind every punctuation mark lies a thousand stories. The punctuation of English, marked with occasional rationality, is founded on arbitrariness and littered with oddities. For a system of a few dozen marks it generates a disproportionate degree of uncertainty and passion, inspiring organisations like the Apostrophe Protection Society and sending enthusiasts, correction-pens in hand, in a crusade against error. Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit, clarity and commonsense. He gives a fascinating account of the origin and progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one and a half millennia, and he offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion and context.
