Best Thesaurus

I bought this thesaurus back in 1990 and had it all throughout high school and college. For some reason it was lost or thrown away when I moved. I'm happy to see it available here since its simple format and inventory of synonyms and antonyms make it the best thasaurus I've ever used. You can't compare those available on computers with the traditional book format. I recommend this to anyone wanting to season their letters, research papers, and the like with a more descriptive and eloquent vocabulary. The bargain price is a plus, also.

A necessity for an interesting and appropriate vocabulary

I have used Doubleday Roget's Thesaurus in Dictionary Form for 30 plus years. I started using it in college because it was easy to look up words in the dictionary format. I continued using it in my career as a writer. I cannot imagine writing letters, speeches, etc. without it. Now that I have retired, my wife uses my old Roget's Thesaurus for her crossword puzzles and loves it. Between the two of us, we wore it out. This new edition is as good as the previous one. If you think you will write something, I highly recommend it. If you think you will use it a lot (as I did), you might want to get the hardcover version. As I mentioned, my old hardcover Thesaurus lasted over 30 years.
