Semiotics, Please

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.
