Bummer That This Title is Out of Print,
By
This review is from: Family Word Finder: A New Thesaurus of Synonyms and Antonyms in Dictionary Form (Hardcover)
This is the most functional thesaurus that I have ever used. I attempted to buy one for my entire family, and learned that it was out of print. Reader's Digest should reprint another edition for all word lovers.

Thorough, Complete, Definitive Guide for any Writer,

This review is from: Family Word Finder: A New Thesaurus of Synonyms and Antonyms in Dictionary Form (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for college, but still use it over 10 years later. It is the most throrough thesaurus I have ever used. When I am at a loss for words, it has all I ever need. It also provides numerous word choices for several uses of each word. It is disappointing to use any other thesaurus after this one. I am sorry to see that this book is out of print.

Disappointing,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Family Word Finder: A New Thesaurus of Synonyms and Antonyms in Dictionary Form (Hardcover)
I purchased Family Word Finder on the sole recommendation of one rave review, by one writerly person. What I expected was a replacement for my cumbersome, but comprehensive, Roget's Thesaurus. The big appeal was the dictionary style look up. Searching for a word is easy, just as I'd hoped. However, half the words I tried to find are simply absent. It might make a nice gift for a grade-schooler. Too bad I don't know one. Back to Roget's.
