«Eats, Shoots & Leaves» is Lynne Truss's punctuation guide, published by Profile in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Lynne Truss champions correct punctuation with humour and rigour: she imagines a team of vigilantes who correct badly punctuated letters, reject sloppy emails and repaint stray apostrophes on signs. An ironic celebration of written precision and the proper use of commas, full stops and quotation marks.
The work was originally published in 2003; this 2007 edition includes a new introduction.
Recommended for writers, proofreaders and readers who want to brush up on English punctuation rules in a fun tone.
