Good book to fine tune your vocabulary,
This review is from: Better Vocabulary in 30 Minutes a Day (Better English Series) (Paperback)
This book, from the Better English Series, is a fairly decent book for businessmen to sharpen their vocabulary. Although some of the words may already be in the vocabulary of middle to high level businessmen, it reinforces those, as well as clearly teaching new words through its 30 minute program (which I find, one can finish in about 15 minutes). The vocabulary presented covers a broad range of words, and the book is overall a straight-ahead, no-nonsense guide for businessmen, as well as for people of occupations in which an expanded vocabulary is beneficial to their job.

Better Vocab. in 30 Min. a Day,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Better Vocabulary in 30 Minutes a Day (Better English Series) (Paperback)
I thought that this book was very helpful. It covers a wide range of words, and as soon as I tried the exercises that it provides, I found that it was really easy afterwards to use the words to spice up my essays and book reports at school.

This review is from: Better Vocabulary in 30 Minutes a Day (Better English Series) (Paperback)
It's a good material if you wanna learn new words. But it could be better. For example, it has not images, pics, anything. Just text, text and text. Sometimes it is bored. However, I can recommend it. It's content is just to save meanings in the mind.
