THE Essential desk reference,
By
This review is from: 20,000+ Words: Spelled and Divided for Quick Reference (Hardcover)
There are two books on my desk I consistently keep within arms reach:- 20,000 Words (5th edition, 1965 by Leslie - McGraw-Hill) - Strunk and White, The Elements of Style (3rd edition, 1979 - Macmillan) What I like about 20,000 words is the ability to quickly find words that I have no clue how to spell. Even with the best integrated spell checking technology today, if you don't know how to start spelling a word, technology will not help you. Quickly flip open the 20,000 Words book, however, and the quick division of words into syllables (syl*la*ble) has you scanning quickly within sections of the book. Likely fixed in this edition, the only word I routinely not included in the 1965 edition was penicillin. It's a shame I'm allergic to it ... penicillin, not this reference book. Never meant as a replacement for the dictionary, it's refreshing to find something so compact and useful that doesn't take up my entire desk.
