I have a few other books speaking of punctuation, but this is the most complete I got. And I found good examples on how we must use the quotation marks and other punctuation for dialogues. And it's well explained.
I didn't read it all cover-to-cover, but I browsed it all and I read the chapter 7 completely (quotations marks and other punctuation inside or outside the quotation marks).
I removed a star because I have a few examples of more complex sentences and I couldn't find the answers about how organize the punctuation in them.
