|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orlova, Marina | Hot for Words | 3.5 | 3/17/2010 | You've got to admit that this Russian philologist has a way with words. |
| Truss, Lynn | Eats, Shoots and Leaves | 4.5 | 11/03/2005 | An entertaining book about the subtleties of punctuation: not a rule book, though it does have rules. |
| The books are rated from 0 to 5 in increments of 0.5. Colors represent the following quality ranges: | ||||
| 4.0 to 5.0 | Quality: | HIGH | (Color = Aqua) | Competent to exceptional; well worth the money |
| 2.0 to 3.5 | Quality: | FAIR | (Color = Lime) | Useful despite some flaws; may or may not be worth buying. |
| 0.5 to 1.5 | Quality: | POOR | (Color = Yellow) | Seriously flawed; read it if you wish, but don't buy it. |
| 0.0 to 0.0 | Quality: | YUCK | (Color = Fuchsia) | Avoid this book at all costs! |
