4.0 out of 5 stars Semiotics, Please, May 28, 2003
By K. John "philologist" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great collection of essays if you're interested in learning more about semiotics. The main strength of the book is that various author's (or practitioners) theories and methods are exposed. Although some of the essays are 'difficult' and might require a little more background in semiotic theory, most of the essays are pretty approachable for the general reader.
