Summary: A Graceful, Witty Guide to Punctuation
Comment: As a professional editor for nearly two decades, I heartily recommend this book. Cappon's writing is clear, funny, and creative, and he makes the nuances of punctuation memorable. His reasoning is logical, and his explanations and examples are very helpful. Interestingly, though this is an Associated Press publication, some of the style differs from the official A.P. Stylebook. So if A.P. is your background, be aware of this.
Cappon is a terrific writer, and anyone else who writes would benefit immensely from this lucid guide to punctuation.

Summary: Don't buy this book!
Comment: If you had any doubts that the media suffers from EXTREME left-wing bias, this book on punctuation should erase them.
Rarely does the author pass an opportunity to make rude, offensive comments about President Bush or Republicans in general. Maybe that's your bag, but in a book on punctuation, I'm really not looking for political commentary, and especially not that slant.
I can only think that the AP "guru" failed to score a big book contract of his own, and so buried his bleeding heart in this one.
