Annotated Ellipses: Revealing a hidden dot-to-dot game within a novelist's eccentric punctuation
Craig Conley

CreateSpace, 2008

Donn Byrne riddled his novel The Wind Bloweth (1922) with ellipses. For example, page 158 alone features no fewer than 27 of them. The ellipses don't merely omit superfluous words or mark pauses. Far from it! In an astonishing number of cases, the ellipses illustrate the narrative, inviting the reader to "connect the dots." What follows is an illustrated celebration of Byrne's eccentric use of ellipses. Snippets of his text are here ...

Simply brilliant.
I bought this book after hearing the author speak about it on NPR. I have since re-ordered and am online to re-order again as friends who found it on my coffee table could not put it down. It's far more than the clever concept even promises. The author essentially takes you on a journey through literature and you'll see words in an entirely new light.

Writing a Resume'
This book was written for low reading levels and does a good job of explaining such a boring subject. Color pictures do not add any meaning to the text. Sample resume's are pretty good. Suggested reading for teachers, parents, and students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels.
