This title does for spelling what Lynn Truss's international bestseller, Eats, Shoots & Leaves (Gotham, 2004) did for punctuation.

The surprise hit documentary Spellbound has ignited a new interest in spelling.

I actually liked this better than Eats, Shoots, and Leaves--that author's snarky British tone didn't work for me, and her book's filled with mistakes. Beeson knows his subject inside and out, and if you love writing, and words, and their meaning, you'll highly enjoy this book.

This is a book in the vein of Lynne Truss' "Eats, Shoots and Leaves," only about spelling rather punctuation, and written with a slightly more serious tone. "Eyes Before Ease's" main themes are why spelling matters, how spelling in the English language became so goofy (a fair amount of blame seems to fall to the French, while we can thank the Viking invasions for it having gotten a lot simpler than it might've otherwise ended up) and, finally, what you can do to try to improve your own spelling skills.
