We bought this for him as a Christmas gift in 2014 and he is delighted with it
My son — now in his mid-thirties — had an extensive vocabulary even as an elementary schooler. We are a family of readers (and writers) so Roget just wasn’t cutting it for him any longer. We bought this for him as a Christmas gift in 2014 and he is delighted with it.

I have the dictionary volume and purchased this for my wife who is an English major and retired her teaching career a few years ago. She likes it as well as my dictionary issue by the same author.

A must for the pompous at heart
When I saw the title I knew it was word the [price] even if it was only as a conversation piece. What could be more gloriously pretentious that a book with this title. In its defense, however, there are some very viable synonyms that I have found useful. I does, as the author suggests, remind you of those little used words that bring descriptive writing a certain zest.On the other hand, the book has a limited amount of entries, and some of the synonyms are a bit far fetched. If you are looking for a dependable thesaurus you can you in day-to-day writing try Roget’s. But if you find you need a particularly noteworthy word this isn’t a bad little addition.

One of a kind
This book is a blast! I have shared it with others and everyone loves it! Have since bought two more copies as gifts for fellow word-smiths! And at this price, it can’t be beat! Worth so much more – a bevy of beautiful and not so beautiful words that will astound! Highly recommend this book.

Great Thesaurus
I bought this for my daughter but they already have it. I am keeping it to use when confronted with the need for a particular word that isn’t common. It is a great resource.
