The New Well-Tempered Sentence: A Punctuation Handbook for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed

Karen Elizabeth Gordon writes excellent references for writers.

This is a great little book on sentence writing. I love all the humorous examples. Wish I'd known there is an updated version.

Any of Karen Elizabeth Gordon's books on the use of language are essential for a writer's book shelf, or anyone interested in the correct use of written English. Not only does this book explain the convolutions and quirks of punctuation concisely, it does so with wit, so it's fun to read while you check out a point you're not sure of, or simply want to learn more about how to use punctuation properly.

Wer English wirklich lernen will.... muß dieses Buch auswendig lernen! Und es ist sehr amusant! You wanna know English? You betta read that!

Couldn't be more pleased.
