Between You And Me: Confessions Of a Comma Queen, Norris - B

                                             The author has spent over thirty-five years at the New Yorker as an Ok'er, one of a handful of people who have the final say before a page goes to the printer. The editor David Remnick analogized the job to that of an auto mechanic who only works on 200mph cars - pretty heady stuff in the world of copy editors.   The book is a thoroughly enjoyable jaunt through the crevices and corners of the American institution most committed to proper usage of the English language.
