5.0 out of 5 stars the bible of thesauruses, 11 Feb 2010
By Fokion Dimitriadis (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My consistent avocation for more than a decade now has been english lexicology (the study of words) and I have built a respectable library of relevant material. After repeated comparative tests and rigorous assessments of each and every one of my resources I have concluded that this book stands out as the most comprehensive,up-to-date, and above all, practical guide in the market. Its competitive advantages are:
- It lists a mind-boggling array of synonyms (spanning the whole semantic spectrum)for each entry and the arrangement is alphabetical and not based on the semantic proximity of each synonym to the entry - making it completely descriptive and not prescriptive.
- It refers every entry to its relevant concept, effectively linking the word to the idea and mirroring the way we actually think!
- The above produces a concept index which captures our world in intuitive conceptual categories.

BY FAR THE BEST BOOK IN ITS CATEGORY

5.0 out of 5 stars The best thesaurus money can buy, 6 Mar 2010
By K. Lowe "thekat" (wolves,uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I brought this book as a gift for my dad,who is an avid crossword fan.
I wanted to get him the best,and had always heard that Roget's is the best thesaurus available.
He was pleased when he opened it but now he has used it a few times,he is even more pleased.
At this price,it is a steal.
As ever,buying from Amazon,delivery was outstanding..it said 3-5 working days,but arrived in 2,making it in time for his Birthday and covering for my ineptitude.
