One of those fun, readable grammar books.
Norris, who has worked at the New Yorker since the late 1970s, first in the editorial library, but later as a copy-editor, gives an overview of the proper use of the comma, semi-colon, and dash, and gives spelling advice, all in a manner that is amusing and not at all stuffy. She sings the praises of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, and of the vanishing No. 1 pencil in this mixture of memoir and style manual.
I enjoyed immensely; I only wish that some of the wisdom would stick with me.

My three-year-old suggested leaning the actual copy of the book against the laptop screen, instead of importing a jpeg of the cover for this blog post, She further says of this book:
