The new well-tempered sentence / Gordon, Karen Elizabeth

This handbook is revised and enlarged with fuller explanations of the rules of punctuation, additional graphics, and further character development and drama--all the while redeeming punctuation from the perils of boredom.

Presents an illustrated guide to the proper use of punctuation, covering the exclamation point, question mark, period, comma, semicolon, colon, hyphen, dash, quotation marks, italics, parenthese, brackets, the slash, apostrophe, and ellipse, each with humorous and outlandish example sentences.
