Great resource
Best book for songwriters, but it takes some time to get adjusted to how the information is organized.

Why this dictionary? And 1943 Edition Vs Modern Edition
As of this writing, (2016), this dictionary is recommended for songwriters by instructor Pat Pattison over others, including online dictionaries, as it: divides rhymes into Masculine, Feminine,and three-syllable rhymnes, is organized phonetically by vowel sound, and it italicizes archaic words.1943 Edition Vs Modern Edition breakdownThere has been controversy going back years on this board about which edition you should get of this book, the modern one or the 1943 edition. I’ve bought both of them because of the controversy and I’ll lay out the differences1) the 1943 separates out eat rhyme by groups so that under A (as in bay) you have:vowel: eye, cou-tru-ri-er etc…b: bay, etc…br: bray, etc…..the new edition lays them out altogether listed like soaffrayagleyairway….The old edition makes it easier to separate identities – words that are not true rhymes because the last syllable in both begins with the same consonant. Each page actually warns to only pick one from each group. How big of a matter this is is a personal choice, but I like the old way.Also the new edition prints one word per line as above (in four columns) whereas the old edition as above lists several words per line in two columns. So I believe the older edition has fewer words per page despite the smaller size of my hardback editions.Also, the older edition breaks words by syllables with accents. Very important.2) The old edition obviously doesn’t have newer words in it.3) The old edition has a course in verification in the back that 90 pages long and is very good.4) As from that, the text of the old and new editions cover roughly the same material, re-written in the new edition.So I think the old edition is definitely preferable to me though the new one is very useful if you don’t want to spend the money to the older one.

More of a high level classroom education book
I was expecting a dictionary or Thesaurus type of book of word comparisons I could use to help write music. What you get in this book is a highly educated description of how to create rhyme words. Not what I was looking for but probably perfect for the pure at heart who know, or want to know poetry.

Does exactly what it says in the title.

Perfetto per poeti e cantautori con ottime referenze di letteratura inglese e chiarissime note esplicative! Consigliatissimo per addetti ai lavori!!!

Huge selection of words! I wish the book had been larger, I got the hard cover book which pages are just 4″x 6 3/4″. I also picked up the Emotion Thesaurus, which pages are 7″x10″ a much better size format Hint hint : )
