Book Corner: Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod by Bastian Sick

This image shows the cover of one of Germany's most famous funny modern books, the first in a series of several by author Bastian Sick. He works for the German magazine 'Der Spiegel', and wrote a weekly column that was so popular, it was published in book format and became a bestseller. Mr. Sick is very knowledgeable about the German language and writes in a funny and entertaining way about cases of doubt in the German language, for example: grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style.

The title is translated as: The Dative (case) is to the Genitive (case) its death! - A guide through the labyrinth of the German language.
