A rollicking adventure into the origins of the apostrophe, the proliferation of profanity in American culture, and everything in between., Brims with wit, personality--and commas. . . . Norris' enthusiasm is infectious. She's as passionate about sharp pencils as she is about sharp writing. . . . Delightful., There is so much to be learned from Mary Norris''s marvelous memoir: she tells us when to hyphenate a compound noun, shows whether to employ the subjunctive, and elucidates the suggestively named copulative verb. But she is no dry guardian of grammar, no punitive Poobah of punctuation. In giving an account of her journey from provincial obscurity to the glamour of New York--and The New Yorker--she offers a warm, tender, and funny coming of age story. (Or possibly it''s a ''coming-of-age'' story. Mary could tell you.), Destined to become an instant classic...It's hard to imagine the reader who would not enjoy spending time with Norris., Mary Norris is the verbal diagnostician I would turn to for a first, second, or third opinion on just about anything., There is so much to be learned from Mary Norris's marvelous memoir: she tells us when to hyphenate a compound noun, shows whether to employ the subjunctive, and elucidates the suggestively named copulative verb. But she is no dry guardian of grammar, no punitive Poobah of punctuation. In giving an account of her journey from provincial obscurity to the glamour of New York--and The New Yorker--she offers a warm, tender, and funny coming of age story. (Or possibly it's a 'coming-of-age' story. Mary could tell you.), Ms. Norris, who has a dirty laugh that evokes late nights and Scotch, is...like the worldly aunt who pulls you aside at Thanksgiving and whispers that it is all right to occasionally flout the rules., Destined to become an instant classic.... It's hard to imagine the reader who would not enjoy spending time with Norris., Mary Norris brings a tough-minded, clear-eyed, fine-tuned wisdom to all the perplexities and traps and terrors of the English sentence., Mary Norris has an enthusiasm for the proper use of language that's contagious. Her memoir is so engaging, in fact, that it's easy to forget you're learning things.

The seller shipped it very quickly and safely packaged for delivery. While used, the book is in excellent condition. In short, a great transaction.
