Shady characters

In *Shady Characters*, Keith Houston weaves a fascinating trail through the nooks and crannies of typographical history, from the Library of Alexandria to the halls of Bell Labs. Whether investigating the annotating duo of asterisk ( *) and dagger (†); the plucky pilcrow (¶) and humble ampersand (&); or the at sign (@) and octothorpe ( #), both newly reinvigorated by the Internet, *Shady Characters* will delight all who cherish the unpredictable and surprising in the writing life.
