I love how this thesaurus singles writers out in the title and then tries to include everyone by adding "for the writer in everyone" on the cover. /sarcasm

Is rather a fantastic thesaurus though.
I love looking through this just for fun. It is easy to find words. There are helpful hints as well so it makes it easier to remember which word is more appropriate to use. I just wish I had gotten this sooner as I am learning so many cool things and this is helping me write better!
This thesaurus includes the occasional word bank (not as many as Word Menu, but that's not its primary feature). My favourite EXTRA in this text is the WORD SPECTRUM feature--chains of near-synonyms intended to show shades of meaning. LOVE IT!
This is a wonderful reference source--i find myself reaching for it again and again--even though i have an online thesaurus. Highly recommended
