<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Hilarious...This book charmed my socks off. --Patricia O'Conner, <em>New York Times Book Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Mary Norris has spent more than three decades working in The New Yorker's renowned copy department, helping to maintain its celebrated high standards. In <em>Between You & Me</em>, she brings her vast experience with grammar and usage, her good cheer and irreverence, and her finely sharpened pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as full of life as it is of practical advice.</p><p>Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Amazon, <em>Wall Street Journal</em>, <em>Publishers Weekly</em>, <em>Kirkus</em>, and <em>Library Journal</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] winningly tender, funny reckoning with labor and language.--Megan O'Grady "Vogue"<br><br>[P]ure porn for word nerds.--Allan Fallow "Washington Post"<br><br>A rollicking adventure into the origins of the apostrophe, the proliferation of profanity in American culture, and everything in between.-- "San Francisco Chronicle"<br><br>Destined to become an instant classic...It's hard to imagine the reader who would not enjoy spending time with Norris.-- "Christian Science Monitor"<br><br>Funny and endearing.--Joanna Connors "Cleveland Plain Dealer"<br><br>Laugh-out-loud funny and wise and compelling from beginning to end.--Steve Weinberg "Houston Chronicle"<br><br>Mary Norris has an enthusiasm for the proper use of language that's contagious. Her memoir is so engaging, in fact, that it's easy to forget you're learning things.-- "People"<br><br>Mary Norris is the verbal diagnostician I would turn to for a first, second, or third opinion on just about anything.--John McPhee "The New Yorker"<br><br>Ms. Norris, who has a dirty laugh that evokes late nights and Scotch, is...like the worldly aunt who pulls you aside at Thanksgiving and whispers that it is all right to occasionally flout the rules.--Sarah Lyall "New York Times"<br><br>This is as entertaining as grammar can be. <em>Very very</em>. Read it and savor it.--Garrison Keillor<br><br>Mary Norris brings a tough-minded, clear-eyed, fine-tuned wisdom to all the perplexities and traps and terrors of the English sentence.--Adam Gopnik<br><br>Mary Norris is a grammar geek with a streak of mischief, and her book is obscenely fun.--Marilyn Johnson<br><br>Smart and funny and soulful and effortlessly illuminating.--Ian Frazier<br>
