Product Description

Review

The last edition sold over 45000 copies in hardback in the UK alone and more than 32 million copies have been sold since its first publication in 1852.


Product Description

Roget’s Thesaurus is the world’s most famous and trusted word-finder. First published in 1852 it has now sold over 32 million copies worldwide and has become the indispensable desk companion for generations of speakers and writers of English. Unlike most other thesauruses, it groups words thematically rather than in a straight A-Z sequence, thus offering the writer and speaker a much more creative and subtle means of finding new ways to express their thoughts: it is essential for anyone who wants to improve their command, creative use and enjoyment of English, and is perfect for composing speeches, or for writing all manner of prose and poetry. It remains, definitively, a writer’s best friend. Roget’s Thesaurus is part of the Penguin Reference Library and draws on over 70 years of experience in bringing reliable, useful and clear information to millions of readers around the world – making knowledge everybody’s property.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and phrases, 4 April 2003
This book is extremely useful to all - students, scholars and for general family use. It is easy to use and the thumb indexed edition is especially helpful for speeding up your search. I would recommend this book to anyone who does English or Journalism, or for anyone simply wishing to improve their range of vocabulary. This is the best thesaurus I have come across.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of English languages greatest achievements, 6 Sep 2004
By alexkemp (London) - See all my reviews
It is rare to encounter such a well considered and helpful reference work. The thesaurus is based on the work of Peter Roget's original 1852 manuscript and is structured by six classes of word meanings which are later cross referenced in the index. This arrangement is useful for exploring ideas and is a great pleasure to use. The 150th Anniversary Edition includes new modern vocabulary and several interesting essays explaining the history, purpose and ideas behind the book. This item comes highly recommended as an excellent desk reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roget's thesaurus, 14 April 2009
By Brenda the booklenda "Caz" (Gloucester, England) - See all my reviews
Decided to replace my 1970's edition of this and am delighted with new version, easy to use and full of useful phrases. Great for my crosswords when I need a little help!

Bought this for a friend who is always trying to find a word, they love that it's arranged thematically and not just alphabetically. (I think it might be both but not sure).
