Aptly Named
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is an excellent reference for me. The words in the book are words I would not think twice about if I heard them in conversation or read them in a novel. I know what they mean...kind of. By reading this book, however, I am able to learn a precise definition of the words so I may feel comfortable integrating them into my own vocabulary. This is exactly what I was looking for.The definitions are not your typical dictionary definitions that leave you more confused after you've read it. They are simple and concise. Each word has a clear example that shows the word in context.I also enjoyed that pronunciation was shown phonetically. I appreciated not having to flip back to a key somewhere in the book to figure out how to pronounce each syllable. Overall, this book is excellent for anyone wishing to expand their vocabulary.
A Very Useful Book

This book is excellent in providing the meaning and use of words that most people may not use in their everyday conversations. However, for those who wish to improve in their understanding of such words and who want to have greater understanding of the words used by educated persons, this is a useful book.
Excellent book for those interested in the use of words.

This is a fine book for those who want to improve themselves in the use of words. It contains 1200 words that educated people should use and gives examples of how to use them. I recommend this book also to those wishing to improve their vocabulary. It is especially useful for those preparing to take SAT, ACT and GRE exams.
