The Quest for Meaning: A Guide to Semiotic Theory and Practice (2007) by Marcel Danesi

Not the book I was hoping it was, which is actually hard to define now that I think of it.

Perhaps I was looking for something a bit more historical, high-level, or approachable from someone without any knowledge of the field for semiotics. Had I read the description, table of contents, and index (as How to Read a Book (1940) suggests a person does before diving deeper into any read) I would have known better that this book wasn't what I thought it might be.

The rating given isn't necessarily a reflection of the value or quality of the work itself, rather that it provides little value to me in terms of my needs.
