Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols, & Other Typographical Marks by Keith Houston

3.0
I appreciated the author's cheeky tone. This book is best read in its printed format as the author includes many pictures, footnotes, and uses the punctuation marks in question. I found this book most digestible in chunks- a chapter here, a chapter there. It is dense and not the most exciting book albeit entertaining considering the subject matter.
