Snails and Monkey Tails

A Visual Guide to Punctuation and Symbols

Michael Arndt
What is the oldest punctuation mark in English? Where did the hash symbol come from? And how does an asterism differ from an asterisk? In this quirky and informative guide to punctuation and typographical symbols, an award-winning graphic designer traces their origins and evolution, explains the diverse ways in which each one is used and gives the variety of names, both familiar and obscure, by which they are known.
