Everything about this rhyming dictionary is fantastic. I am going to give away my old copy of "The Complete Rhyming Dictionary" or maybe use it to keep a fire going on a camping trip. Hmmmm...I'll have to plan one of those. Anyway, this thing is so much easier to use. Finding rhymes is always a quick process and does not interrupt my writing to the extent that it used to. I would highly recommend this book for songwriters. It's well organized, easy to use, has a durable construction, and is highly portable. I wish I would have found this book ten years ago.

I bought two to compare. This one I find harder to use than the other but am keeping as a spare.
