In the no-nonsense, authoritative tradition of the best-selling <I>AP Stylebook</I>, the top editors at the AP have now written the definitive guide to punctuation. From the when and how of the ampersand to the rules for dashes, slashes, and brackets; from the correct moment for the overused exclamation point to the rules of engagement for the semicolon, The <I>AP Guide to Punctuation</I> is an invaluable and easy-to-use guide to the most important aspect of clear and persuasive writing.66319212003The Associated Press Guide to Punctuationtotal:16|5:3|4:4|3:6|2:2|1:1|165427510falsefalseThu Dec 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008Mon Dec 08 10:45:09 -0800 2008Mon Dec 08 10:54:42 -0800 20081 Cappon's book is sloppy, rushed, and incomplete. I can't recommend it to anyone.
The same Pope quotation is trotted out twice (p. 34 & p. 76), the second time clumsily, and both times Cappon renders it incorrectly.
