Review
"Commas Are Our Friends succeeds well in its purpose to educate while entertaining. (Or is it the other way around?) Joe Devine is a clever,witty man with an astonishing imagination. His book is creative and funny. I could make the associations, remember the characters, recall the examples. I believe that Devine's use of humor and fantasy heightened my retention, and retention is the bottom line in any learning situation." -- Society For Scholarly Publishing, December, 1991
"Adults and young adults alike will find this fun and educational, but it will prove particularly valuable for young adults who may be having problems with traditional methods of learning grammar and who want something stimulating and unusual for an alternative." -- The Midwest Book Review, March, 1991
"Devine's book is an attempt to overcome a common American malady--grammar phobia--with a humorous touch. In it, you'll unravel the mysteries of prepositions, interjections, restrictive appositives, and other grammatical 'horrors' through such tales as the discovery (and curse) of the fabled Punctuation Stone." -- The Plain Dealer--Cleveland, April 8, 1991

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
