Summary: worth the buy
Comment: This thesaurus contains a plethora of useful synonyms.However it is not a replacement for a good
unabridged dictionary.Inclusion of spelling aid would upgrade it to five stars category.

Summary: Amazingly Constructed - Priceless to All Authors
Comment: I have used a number of Thesaurus versions in the past, but have never encounterd one so complete
and helpful. Since my first published book, I have been studying a number of books to improve my
writing skills. Too often prose becomes boring to editors, agents and readers alike. The Oxford
American Writer's Thesaurus has helped me keep my work fresh and non-repetitive. I would have paid
twice the price. Every writer should own one.Tommie & Grope

Summary: The Best I've Ever Used
Comment: Despite some reviews, not every thesaurus is for writers. Some are simply mean't to give the average
person a few alternatives, and are quite limited. This however is different. Exhaustive even.
Something a writer can greatly benefit from when needing to express themselves in a totally unique
way. Keeps one from becoming repetitive.

Summary: This is the one to get!
Comment: This is an essential for those days when you can't think of the right words. (And it's way better
than an online thesaurus, or the lousy one that comes with MS Word.) This version is useful but,
oddly enough, also really cool and fun. The Word Notes in it are great little essays that will
completely sidetrack you from whatever you were trying to look up in the first place. Some of the
contributors are among the best contemporary writers--getting advice from them just adds to the
power of this resource.

Summary: INDISPENSIBLE
Comment: I asked for this book and received it as a gift and it was everything I hoped it would be. I took
an intesive 10 week course that required write-ups of each day's lectures, and I used this book
every day, and was never disappointed. I keep it right by my computer and have just really grown
attached to it.
I haven't had a thesaurus in years, so I really can't compare it to what else
is out there, but it never let me down and I highly recommend it.
I hope you like it as much
as I do.
