Rhyming Dictionary of the English Language by John Walker

This is really my husband's book, since he's the one who occasionally writes things that rhyme. An interesting difference between this book and the website he often uses is that this really is a dictionary, with brief definitions of the words. We'll keep it, but it's going upstairs to his office as part of the living room Shelf-Clearing Project.
