Forget Eats, Shoots and Leaves; those of you looking for a more highbrow grammar-based paperback would do well to consider Bill Bryson's splendid Troublesome Words.
This really is excellent stuff. It covers some great topics (everything from the usage of 'who' and 'whom', to common literary misquotations), often in substantial depth, and is pithily entertaining throughout.
Highly recommended.
