Product Description

Product Description
With nearly 400,000 synonyms and antonyms, the Penguin Thesaurus is the most extensive, authoritative and modern wordfinder currently available. Its alphabetical arrangement of the headwords means that it is very easy to use. In addition where a headword has more than one meaning or nuance there are examples to help the reader locate which group of synonyms are appropriate. The coverage is the most up-to-date (including many slang and informal usages) of any thesaurus available.

About the Author
Ros Fergusson is the author of many Penguin Reference titles (including the bestselling Rhyming Dictionary), Martin Manser edited the Chambers Thesaurus and David Pickering is the author of The Penguin Dictionary of First Names. Ros Fergusson lives in Newington, Kent. Martin Manser lives in Aylesbury, Bucks. David Pickering lives in Buckingham, Bucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, 10 April 2006
By Sam "msaa500" (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I needed a comprehensive, easy to use, and I found this nice book on Amazon, and for this price it is a real bargain. I even bought one for my friend as well. It is very important to have one of these if you're a student, or a writer or have any interest in words and their meaning. It is easy to use, and uptill now, it did not let me down, I found all the words I needed and more...
