«Eats, Shoots & Leaves» is Lynne Truss's essay on English punctuation, published by Avery Pub Group in paperback (240 pages).
Lynne Truss, a former British editor, wittily defends correct English punctuation and shows how a misplaced comma or apostrophe changes the meaning of any message. The book mixes the history of punctuation, examples from the street, the Internet and literature, and includes the panda anecdote that gives the work its title.
New York Times bestseller, with a foreword by Frank McCourt, author of 'Angela's Ashes'.
Intended for English learners, writers and grammar lovers seeking an entertaining read.
