Format:Hardcover
Every poet needs have three essential tools: 1) a great dictionary, 2) a great thesaurus, and 3) this rhyming dictionary. True, the phonetic format takes some getting used to. True, some of the comments Wood makes in the introduction are condescending and downright insufferable. But the dictionary itself is the most comprehensive one on the market. And the breakdown of words into one, two, and three-syllable formats will save you a lot of time. I also love the fact that the words are listed one per line. That makes navigating the word jungle much less stressful. Oh, and by the way, buy yourself a hardback copy right off the bat. It will save you money in the long run compared to buying the paperback edition over and over again every time you wear it out. Songwriters . . . this means you, too!

Being a lyricist (ck. home.earthlink.net/~paulkruger), I've been using Wood's Unabridged Rhyming Dictionary for so many years the book has begun to fall aprt. (Never realized till a few weeks ago, the edition I have was published in 1943.) It was time to replace it. Or so I thought.
Clement Wood's genius was to divide each section so that you could see at a glance words which have the same sound (e.g., approved, improved, reproved, etc.) and, therefore, were not true rhymes. So what does this appallingly dreadful edition do? They list all words alphabetically regardless of sound!
No wonder one of the editors is named Bogus.

The pros may not agree but as a novice lyricist, having never written a song in my life until I began work on my current project, I found this book to be the best of the bunch. I own four others. This one is the most used. The others? Well, they just sit on the shelf collecting dust.

I write a music lyrics and personally I didn't find this book to be of much use.

Best in the business!
This will be the 3d copy. I gave one away, but I wore the other one out. I use it all the time, wouldn't be without it. Best book of its kind in my humble opinion.

Great Tool
This dictionary is a mind blower and a tool for rhyming. It explains the mission of the poet with great insight as to what words work. I use it all the time. Love it.

Great book and an indispensable resource!
I had heard of this book a while back, but was skeptical of buying it, as I heard that the way it was organized made it difficult to use. Read more

Love it!
Does what a rhyming dictionary is meant to do. Recommended to me by a university songwriting teacher and am very pleased with it. Alot of fun too with the family freestyle rapping.

Compact, easy to learn to use and very helpful
This rhyming dictionary is perfect for songwriters and poets. It lays out the rhymes by vowel sound and lists identities in the same block. Read more

Does "shine" rhyme with "caffeine"?
Here it is in a nutshell: if, for your purposes, "fidgety," "fiery" and "flattery" rhyme well enough, or "vine" with "wolverine," then this is the book for you. Read more

The Complete Rhyming Dictionary
It has a lot of information in it, but I find the book very confusing. It does not really help me.

I find this book very helpful in many respects but too complicated in others. But all in all a very useful book.
