520    "With the invention of printing, reading books moved from 
       being an act only performed by priests and aristocrats 
       into an individual, even private, activity. This change 
       helped spark the Renaissance, the Reformation, the 
       Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution--in which 
       punctuation played a crucial role. As long as texts were 
       read out loud only by an educated elite there was no need 
       for punctuation to mark pauses, full stops or questions. 
       So punctuation--the full stop, the comma, the exclamation 
       mark, the question mar and the semicolon--helped shape 
       modern-day Europe as we know it." -- Page [4] of cover.
