Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation is a non-fiction book written by Lynne Truss, the former host of BBC Radio 4's Cutting a Dash programme.
In the book, published in 2003, Truss bemoans the state of punctuation in the United Kingdom and the United States and describes how rules are being relaxed in today's society.
Her goal is to remind readers of the importance of punctuation in the English language by mixing humour and instruction.

Truss dedicates the book "to the memory of the striking Bolshevik printers of St. Petersburg who, in 1905,
demanded to be paid the same rate for punctuation marks as for letters,
and thereby directly precipitated the first Russian Revolution";
she added this dedication as an afterthought after finding the factoid in a speech from a librarian.^[

The book was a commercial success. In 2004, the US edition became a New York Times best-seller.
Contrary to usual publishing practice, the US edition of the book left the original British conventions intact.

In July 2006, Putnam Juvenile published a 32-page follow-up for children entitled Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference! Based on the same concept, this version covers only the section on comma usage and uses cartoons to explain the problems presented by their poor usage.
