Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

To achieve your goals, words alone aren't enough. You need punctuation too!

Who cares about commas, semicolons, dashes, and hyphens? Well, you should. A misplaced punctuation mark can confuse physicians and surgeons, cause thousands of dollars in legal fees, misinform judges, puzzle bankers, misguide stockbrokers, and even ruin a recipe.

Luckily, you don't need a teacher with a mouthful of jargon to show you how to make yourself clearly understood, whether it's in a text or a term paper. Better Punctuation in 30 Minutes a Day lets you teach yourself. This small step-by-step handbook is an indispensable guide if you need to:

- Compose high school or college papers - Apply to college or for a job - Write a resume - Communicate your thoughts to anyone, from your landlord to your loved one

You can work on your own, at your own speed, and within your own time frame--and the rules of punctuation, often confusing and hazy, will finally become clear.
