5.0 out of 5 stars Best thesaurus ever, September 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Webster's New World Thesaurus (Paperback)

This is the best thesaurus I have ever seen. It provides lots of synonyms for more common words, and provides cross-references for less common words. I use it in all my writings.

It's just what my poetry writing daugter wanted!

She's happy with it and so am I. I's small but has a lot of words that on-line thesauruses (thesauri?) don't.

Webster's New World Thesaurus / 0-452-00742-9

I bought this thesaurus from a second-hand bookstore several years back and I have nothing but praise for it. This thesaurus is very good at providing a moderate (not too many, not too few) selection of strongly-associated synonyms for each word, and I find that the offered selections are usually precisely what I want and need.

If you still need a paper thesaurus in this day and age, I strongly recommend this one if you can find it cheaply.
