Book-Marketing Tip of the Day – February 25, 2019

How did written punctuation originate? It wasn't until the end of the fifteenth century that the Italian printer Aldus Manutius introduced the system of markings we call punctuation.

Mark Twain once filled the last page of a manuscript with all the various symbols of punctuation and instructed his editor to disperse them within the story as he saw fit.
