From the eighteenth century navigators relied on nautical charts produced by a handful of chart makers & instrument sellers working in the city of London. These privately produced charts, or 'bluebacks' as they were known because of the tough blue manilla paper on which they were mounted, were in circulation amongst the merchant fleets of the World until the Second World War. Susanna Fisher's meticulously researched history tells the story of the families & companies that dominated this trade from the 1750's until the present day. The makers of the blueback charts were amongst the great map publishers of their day & names like Sayer, Laurie & Findlay are well known to anyone who has an interest in old sea charts. The high & low fortunes of their businesses & the London world in which they lived & work is colourfully portrayed. The story of private chart making is also more or less the history of Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson Ltd which is the descendent of the old publishing firms & to this day flourishes as the leading private publisher of nautical charts & pilot books. This fascinating history is well timed & its publication marks the forthcoming centenary of Imrays as well as being the definitive account of the story of private chart publication in Engl&. ...

This `engaging history of punctuation` (Wall Street Journal) is not only the first history of its kind, but a complete guide on how to use English punctuation.

Professor Crystal leads us through this minefield with characteristic wit, clarity & commonsense. He gives a fascinating account of the origin & progress of every kind of punctuation mark over one & a half millennia, & he offers sound advice on how punctuation may be used to meet the needs of every occasion & context. ...
