Format:Paperback
I ordered this to assist my daughter (9 years old) with her literacy work at school - the benefit of the Dictionary AND Thesaurus was to encourage her use of more descriptive words! The lay out is fab (and so easy to us) ........... find a word and the thesarus is directly under the word! (How easy) Very happy with it.

Ordered this for my 8 yr old daughter and was pleasantly surprised with the layout...found easy to use and the combined meaning and thesaurus...works very well.Have to say...daughter initially felt dictionary own its own was better option...but since using few times... has familiarised with the format and is now very happy with it.
Downside in terms of content ...none...accept being paperback the binding and cover crease quite easiy on the corners....but at this price and combined with fast delivery from Amazon ...excellent value!
All homes should have one ..very useful for one and all...

I'm start college in September of this year and two of my subject are english lit and english lang so i thought i needed to be buying a dictionary- not just that, i needed to expand on my vocabulary drastically. I bought this because it had a thesaurus as well and the price was decent; and i can say i have had no problems with it- it fulfills it's purpose! Fast delivery by the service! All around a happy customer!:-)

Not well bound
Found the book useful though does not contain all the words found in the crosswords I do. However a page has come loose after a very short period of use so am rather disappointed.
