A joy for everyone who loves the English language!

Having used multiple reference books for a variety of professional writing assignments, this thesaurus stands alone as an invaluable aid for writers of all levels. Quite simply, it is the most well-organized, comprehensive and user-friendly thesaurus I've encountered.

For the price, I can think of no other reference book that offers so much bang for the buck. Take my word for it. If you write professionally, this book will pay for itself in no time at all. Even if you don't write for a living, you'll find the thesaurus to be a genuine treasure on your reference shelf.

Very, very good -- just not the best

Most people use a thesaurus to jazz up reports for school or work. There's nothing wrong with that; it helps prevent overuse of common words. If you are one of those types of writers, then just about any thesaurus will do.

But if you are a writer who is sensitive to the subtleties of nuance and shades of meaning, then this book is the one you want to have on your desk. Not only will it help you consider words that you may not have thought about, but its organization lets you browse ideas and concepts. This is invaluable if you write for a living.

What keeps this edition from getting five stars is that the best version is the now out-of-print Roget's International Thesaurus, 4th Edition. The 4th is more complete in its definitions and examples, has better "feel" to its organization, and is printed on robust paper instead of cheaper stock.

As with any thesaurus, you should try before you buy. If you get the opportunity, choose a word (I chose "writing" as in authorship) and browse the versions you are considering. Whichever one calls to you, buy it. For me the 4th was the best. If the 4th isn't available, get the 6th.
