In 2002 Lynne Truss, the British writer and journalist, presented Cutting a Dash, a BBC Radio 4 series about punctuation. The success of the series led to the publication of Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, a petit, witty rant on the misuse of punctuation. With more than one million copies in print, the book led bestseller lists on both sides of the pond. In her new book, Talk to the Hand, Truss takes on the equally neglected field of modern etiquette.
