This is me, period
Book - 2017
"A bold, black-and-white typographic journey from beginning to end, This is Me, Period is a beautiful gift book that explores the idiosyncrasies of punctuation through a playful freeform poem. Every page explores approachable rules, history, and helpful reminders--allowing readers to re-examine the essential elements of writing. Writer Philip Cowell and award-winning designer Caz Hildebrand share the pleasures and philosophy of punctuation as told by the marks themselves. For instance, the exclamation point claims the status of 'the selfie of grammar' and the apostrophe admits that it loves cutting corners. The em dash tells us, 'Don't confuse me with the hyphen. He's the little guy that keeps things together. ...I'm the disrupter--it's your toes I want to keep you on.' Each chapter deals with personality of one of the major pieces of punctuation--from the period to the question mark to the trailing off of the ellipsis"--
