“This book will set you free. As concise as the rules it espouses, this book will put a smile on your face and a confidence in your fingers to write just the way you have always wanted to. Selwood tells us punctuation is flexible; use it as you do your voice and your words will find their home. A magical manual.”
Tim Gow — Sports News Editor, The Daily Express, UK

“Selwood has done the impossible: he has produced a short and funny book on punctuation. Whether you are eight or eighty, you will want this indispensable guide beside you, as a reminder of all those rules you have been told, but have long since forgotten.”
Dr James W P Campbell — Bestselling author and Fellow of Queens’ College, University of Cambridge, UK
“This is everything I want from a book about punctuation: it made me laugh and cheer. Our children are being taught the odious SPAG [Spelling, Grammar, and Punctuation] with rigid rules and no creativity. We all should be embracing punctuation with Selwood’s passion.”
Henrietta Mcmicking — Award-Winning BBC Producer, UK
“Dominic Selwood demystifies the — often arcane — rules of modern punctuation. Written in a lively tone, with the focus firmly on the essentials, he’ll have you telling your commas from your semicolons in no time! Highly recommended to anyone seeking to write with accuracy and verve.”
