5.0 out of 5 stars Thesaurus (n) dictionary, lexicon, wordbook, wordfinder, vocabulary, synonym, encyclopedia, storehouse, repository, treasury, 7 Feb 2009

By	J. C. Chamberlain (Cheadle, Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's actually quite interesting. You know the way you look up a word in a dictionary, then you see something else and you end up sat there for 20 minutes just reading stuff you didn't know before? This thesaurus is a bit like that. For example, I just looked up "Thesaurus" to put a title to this review, and I've just sat here and read a list of therapies on the same page (acupressure, acupuncture, Alexander technique...). There are these boxes of information all around the thesaurus giving supporting information in tables and sentences.

It's alot more in depth than the pocket thesaurus i've had for years, with plenty of related words on its 1127 pages. The explanation of the 'Features' and 'Structure' of the Thesaurus at the front is short and snappy and easy to refer to. There's no huge forward, just the facts. The typeface isn't as small as the same edition dictionary, so it's easier to read than a dictionary.

The edition I bought, the one on this page published in 2004 is a match to the The Chambers Dictionary 10th Edition, both the same size/shape with matching covers and I'm very pleased to own them both, a perfect pair on my shelf.

I recommend this thesaurus wholeheartedly, completely, enthusiastically, emphatically, warmly, heartily, passionately, sincerely, genuinely, unreservedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chambers Thesaurus, 27 Aug 2009

By	Lee Faber "fablee" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Chambers Thesaurus (Hardcover)

In my opinion, this is the best thesaurus on the market. I have now had three and I use them until they literally fall apart

5.0 out of 5 stars The most fun i've had out of a Thesaurus in ages!!, 9 Jul 2009

By	A. HILL (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Chambers Thesaurus (Hardcover)

I just got this the other day and first impressions are that it's excellent.
Usual quality design and ease of use is what you expect from Chambers.
Text is done in a black bold style for each word which is very easy to thumb through.
In fact shame they don't do a thumb index for this Thesaurus but this is a small complaint because the book is near perfect. What I like more than anything else is that it's been created with a lot of fun and humour. I love the little proverbs and quotations throughout as well as the handy lists that tell you things like every type of thread used. Genius!! You never know when you might need to know something like that. By far the best Thesaurus around. Go buy it!!
