I have a relative who was an editor for a magazine in her time, she had a really old edition of Roget's Thesaurus. I wanted to surprise her & boy was she thrilled! She skimmed through it & now months later has still thanked me for it! She is the true reviewer but her excitement for this series in particular makes me rate it a 5 STAR!

This book is one of the best resources I use for my writing. It's easy to find the words and the meanings.
Monotonous

While the storyline is not great, it does explain all the words in alphabetical order.The description of antidisestablishmentarianism was most enlightening though. The ending was a little predictable, the build up to a description of zytoplasm disappointing.A little more imagination required here, I could find no reference to common terms such as bum bandit, hand shandy, shirt lifter and fudge nudgers.
One of the best on the market
