Eats Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
This Book is Currently in the Wild!
5 journalers for this copy...
Amusing look at the punctuation crisis. Will email and text messaging kill the comma? No nonsense explanations of current and proper usage of punctuation, without the "don't change anything" attitude in so many similar books. Glad I got to read this. Will send out soon as a bookray.

Thanks legs, received in the mail yesterday. I've been looking forward to reading this one, I work in marketing and my current and previous roles centre around proofing, editing and publishing text. Will write again when I've read it.
Sorry everyone - when I first received this I was last on the list and haven't rushed to read it. (I also had a different bookcrossing pen-name then, but now I'm helocin). I see now that the list is long - so I'll get straight onto it.
Although I haven't read it yet, I lent it to a sub-editor at my work who had expressed interest in it, and he really enjoyed it. I see that he didn't journal it though. Nevermind. I'll attempt to get through it this week and get it off to the next person on the list. Will PM them for their address now. Sorry to hold up the ray!

Apolonia has asked to be passed over on this ray. Will PM babykitty for address.
I read half of this one and enjoyed it but got distracted and don't think I'll get back into it. Apolonia has asked to be skipped, so I've PM'ed Babykitty and am waiting to hear back with a postal address to continue this one's journey.
One of our publications editors at work borrowed this and read it quickly a while back, and enjoyed it.

Babykitty didn't respond to my PM in October, so I PM'd BayAreaBookie this morning and received an immediate response. Hooray! The pandas are finally on their way back to the great USA. I hope they enjoyed Melbourne.
Received in the post today from helocin. Thanks! Have been longing to read this for some time. I'll try and curl up with it over the winter holidays and send it forth once again.

RELEASE NOTES:
A quirky look at what happens when we misuse punctuation. We have all seen those emails chocked full of amusing headlines and signage that was not intended to be humorous, but due to punctuation errors, have us hitting forward and sending them onward.
I emailed the last person in the bookray, and it has been weeks with no reply. So, to honor the wishes of the book's original owner, I am doing what I choose with the book.
I will be offering it up at our monthly Bookcrossing meetup.
