Review: Karen Elizabeth Gordon's The Transitive Vampire and The Well-Tempered Sentence

Yep, I've got some catching up to do after taking a week off. I was out of town a few days, then thought I'd just wait 'til today . . . .

Two good reference books are Karen Elizabeth Gordon's The Transitive Vampire and The Well-Tempered Sentence. The first covers all aspects of grammar and the first all aspects of punctuation. Both explain their subjects well and include gothicky, hilarious examples analagous to Edward Gorey's animations that begin episodes of PBS' "Mystery!"
