Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Herein are more than 2,000 ought-to-know words for students preparing for college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT, and for adults who wish to regain their vocabularies of yore. Each word, from "abase" to "zephyr," is defined and presented in a sentence, a short review of word roots and prefixes is included in the back, the book is easily portable, and the font won't cause eye strain. In addition, the words are separated into manageable word lists to study from (with comprehensive practice tests), providing a pulchritudinous amalgamation of erudition to augment one's sagacious eloquence.
Review
This third edition provides more than 2,000 words students should know for standard college entrance exams, but it will also provide adults with a strong refresher course and set of vocabulary exercises. An excellent collection, perfect for self-testing. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Basic Word List (Paperback)
This book was required by my High School Freshman's English teacher. The need to expand a teenager's vocabulary is always there. The book is useful and appropriate for my teenager.

Comment from a Japanese reader,
This review is from: Basic Word List (Paperback)
I am trying to obtain vocabulary level of GRE. And "Basic Word List" is an ideal tool for this. When I encounter unfamiliar words in Business Week magazine, I try to find such words in this book. I am certain that remembering all the index words in this book will strengthen my reading skill.
