Abstract :
This book covers most of the uses of the dot in history, including its use for bulleted lists, in an ellipsis, and in codes, musical notation, mathematics, and computers. While those who like trivia may enjoy the book, those looking for something more focused and scholarly will have to sift through many pages of pointless information to find that speck of gold.
