The best book on punctuation that I have read is M. B. Parkes. Pause and
Effect: An Introduction to the History of Punctuation in the West. Berkeley/Los
Angeles, CA. University of California Press, 1993. ESPECIALLY if you are
interested in the history of punctuation, you should get this. Be warned in
advance, though, it is an extremely scholarly book, written by a lecturer in
Paleography, Oxford University. (I found it readable, though, and MUCH worth
reading.) Also be advised that it is extremely expensive, but perhaps you can
find one in your local university library, as I did.
