Word Nerds Unite
by Branden Johnson (5 out of 5 stars)
October 12, 2015

I'm a word nerd. I mostly wanted to start out this review that way because it rhymes. However, it does help explain why the subject matter of this book appeals so much to me. There's just something about quotation marks, and their rampant misuse, that makes me laugh. The pictures throughout the book are excellent examples of well-meaning people trying and failing to communicate, but the real treat is the commentary provided by the author. Snark is doled out efficiently and with no malice. It never feels like we're laughing AT the writers of these signs and notices. More like we're laughing NEAR them, and hoping they'll see us laughing and decide to laugh along with us.

Well deserving of a place on your bookshelf or coffee table.

Fun Little Book (if you actually look at the pages)
by Jason M. Moriarty (5 out of 5 stars)

Gave this as a "White Elephant" gift at work. The girl who ended up with it thought it was a book about eggs and most likely tossed it in the trash after our Christmas party.

I read through it before though, and found it quite entertaining.

Funny enough for a read-through, once. Good for an office waiting room maybe, but not a keeper.

The book, while "used" (I couldn't resist!!), arrived in new condition! Fast shipping and you can't beat the price! I look forward to gifting this to my boss.

Thank you!

Purchased as a funny gift for my grammar stickler sister-in-law. She thought it was great and it got passed around all night.
