What English book on punctuation and capitalisation do you recommend?
 
I’ve found “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” by Lynne Truss both helpful and entertaining—it gives punctuation rules with humor. For a more structured guide, “The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation” by Jane Straus is my go-to. Clear explanations, lots of examples, and exercises. Great for ESL learners aiming to polish writing without getting lost in linguistic jargon.
