Summary: Two Thumbs Up!!!
Comment: Before buying this product I searched high and low through Amazon comparing thesauruses and reading
reviews. I finally came to this one and bought it. I am really pleased I did.

I
remember one complaint from reviewers was having to page from the back of the book to the front,
basically a two step process to find the word you want. But this enhances only the power and in
depth the book offers.

I love this thesaurus and highly recommend it to others who love
to write stories, papers, etc and want to expand their vocabulary.

Summary: Roget's Int.
Comment: Roget's Int. Thesaurus is a quite comprehensive and clear source for words and their usages(
,however, it doesn't have any sample sentences for the usage; it just puts the words into groups
generally; for ex: for "enmity", you can see nouns,verbs, adverbs and adjectives releated to this
general word... ) ; but it is a bit different from a normal thesaurus like Oxford Thesaurus in terms
of the general order... What I mean is that words are presented in some categories like "birth,
eating, sex,lamentation, badness" And moreover, these categories are in fifteen classes.. There are
1075 categories and fifteen classes in which the words are grouped... That means, you have to know
the category of the word (therefore its meaning..) you want to search for its synonyms beforehand...
so that makes it a bit difficult to use the thesaurus... But may be, this is only a problem for
non-native speakers of English... But the index part at the end can be a help for this problem...

Summary: AWESOME
Comment: I needed an upgrade from my old Thesaurus, and wanted one that was superior to any others I've seen.
When I got this one in the mail, I couldn't believe how thick the book was (thicker than a lot of
dictionaries I've seen). It's chock full of information, user-friendly, and has way more words and
references than other Thesaurus' I've seen. This one is worth keeping and even passing down to
others.

Summary: A Fine Reference Book
Comment: I purchased this thesaurus for a friend, who was pleased with its beauty and usefulness as a
reference work. I have used Roget's since childhood. The name is synonymous with synonyms, and will
always be my first choice in a thesaurus.

Summary: Reasonable Sale
Comment: I purchased Roget's Thesaurus and the price was good and the book brand new. It was a nice change
from some of the junk I have bought here.
