Amazon.com Review
For doggerel drafters and canto composers, a rhyming dictionary comes in very handy. If you prefer to work on your rhyme schemes while riding the bus or during your lunch hour, the compact version is perfect. It'll fit in a purse or jacket pocket, but still contains 50,000 words arranged by end rhyming sound. It's the reference of choice, lending poets new voice while their readers rejoice, saving poets heartache when their brains take a break.

Rhyme for your pastime,

This review is from: Webster's Compact Rhyming Dictionary (Hardcover)
This is THE book for writers of rhymes who are anyone short of the likes of Cole Porter, one of the master of off-beat, intricate rhymes. This book is easy to use, presents good explanations (brief, to the point) in the short preface, and includes an excellent list with illustrations of pronunciation symbols. If you are like I---kinda embarrassed, reluctant, to have to depend on a reference book for your rhymes---be relaxed: Steve Sodheim and others of such find rhyming reputations have said in public that they do indeed use such references. This gem has 50,000 entries---no, I did not count them; I take the word of the cover info---and if you can't find a rhyme you need in that stack, you may be streaching too far to create your jingle. Enjoy!

The dictionary is compact, the quality is not.,
By Noni (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Webster's Compact Rhyming Dictionary (Hardcover)
I was bought this fine book by my sister and mother because I had trouble rhyming one word with another. This Webster's Compact Rhyming Dictionary struck me as being quite extraordinary. "Is it the book that's compact or the rhymes it provides?" I pondered while reading the small book's outsides. "Was old Webster's name tarnished by this poor reference, with thoroughness diminished for a smaller size preference?"
But I opened the book and found on the paper, the rhymes that I wanted, like "temper" and "diaper". In short, tiny fontwork, the letters were printed. You could read them with glasses or if you just squinted. They had taken a regular book with large fonts, and given it to a book-shrinking savant. The savant made a tiny-sized version, verbatim--It could fit in your pocket or backpack, no problem! Impressed as I was, the true test came later, as I needed a rhyme while writing a paper. My last written word was "poliomyelitis" as part of a poem on that special virus. I opened this book and looked up the word. I found so many -itis-like words it's absurd: Auritis, ascitis, asthmatic bronchitis, avian infectious encephalomyelitis, antritis, amitis, and arthrochondritis, acute haemorrhagic glomerulonephritis, allergic angiitis, alcoholic hepatitis, Wait, what kind of disease is an "Anthony Kiedis?" Aviation otitis, arachnoiditis, aseptic bursitis, ascending neuritis, aspirin-induced asthma/rhinitis, and autoimmune-borne thyroiditis. ...and that just a small piece of the A-words.

One Odd Sized Book,
By John Preble "UCM Museum Director" (ABITA SPRINGS, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Webster's Compact Rhyming Dictionary (Hardcover)
It seems to have decent rhymes but the size is not easy to use. It is too thick for it's page size, however it is printed on decent paper.
