 Merriam Websters Collegiate Thesaurus
It's much, much better than the paperback Thesaurus's I've
been forced to buy because of availability and price? Plus
the paperback versions had smudged print and some pages were
printed upside down or in another langage? Best buy the original
from Amazon and never go wrong it costs more than a paperback but, worth it in the long run!

Unbeatable
Print is easy to read. Thumb tabs allow for locating words fast. The synonyms, antonyms and idioms clarify exactly the proper word to use. The store price was less than I would have paid to a discount house - with no shipping price added. The Preface, Introduction and Explanatory Notes give a kick-start to the best possible usage.

 A Good Book. No, make that a Very Good Book. ( fionnbharr )
This is a good book. It has good words that mean other good words, and that is very good. Sometimes, it can help you know good meanings of other words, like a good definition, but that is not what this good book is for.
If you wanted to know a different good word for a describing word, you can look up your word, and it will tell you a different good word for your good word. These describing words could be good ones, like 'hard' or 'wet' or 'swollen' and it will give you other good words like 'stiff' or 'dripping' or 'engorged'. This helps me write good letters to my favorite good magazines and different good places on the internets.
Now I never use the same good word over again if I know a different good word.
In conclusion, this book is very good. In fact, I'd say it is better than good -- it's Very Good!!

A good investment
This thesaurus is very helpful. You will be able to find the word you're looking for about 8-9 times out of 10, which is not bad at all. I am an English major and therefore use my thesaurus quite often and I give it a thumbs up. The price is reasonable. The look is professional. It's a great buy!
