This is a must in your writing library! This book will not only provide you with a wide variety of words to use in all your writing, but will help you find “just the right word” to use. This book can also serve as a wonderful source for inspiration. (

Maybe it's odd to review a thesaurus, but this really is the best, by far. I mean, sure, it starts off slow, and there's dull patch around "P" and "Q", but then it really picks up its pace. And the ending? Wow. I never saw it coming. (

When you want to waste time joyfully looking things up, and you can't get online, grab this book! I've been stuck for hours with my nose in THE SYNONYM FINDER! (

I've just about worn out my 1978 edition. It may be time for an update. One of the most useful reference books I own. (
