Title: Shoot It!
Product review: We may all agree that punctuation, counts. After all, even the little hyphen makes a world of difference. Take as an example "extra-marital sex" vs. "extra marital sex." That's a big difference if ever I heard one!This book, however, erodes its claim to the importance of the rules by letting too many errors slip by. Where were the copy editors? Of course, it is written for the British and the British have differences in those rules.(North Americans say "third" rather than "thirdly" and Americans may not place a semicolin in the salutation of a business letter, for example.)That notwithstanding, this book should have been proofed to perfection since its theme is "zero tolorance" for such things. My favorite error is "...newspapers who insist on precision..." found on page 35. And by the time you get to page 35, there are a dozen others.Best to wait for the revised edition.
