Book Description

"This astounding new book addresses the deficiencies of conventional thesaurii: It lists only sophisticated synonyms that are not typically included in regular thesaurii. But they're not archaic or obsolete; each is a fully legitimate word accompanied by a passage from a current book, magazine or newspaper to show that the word is in current use by good writers. - It uses a unique 'Clarifier' system, which briefly defines synonyms that require explanation and allows the inclusion of words that are not direct synonyms of the entry. Over 75 percent of the entries contain this breakthrough feature. Meltzer's thesaurus will change the way you search for a better word. No longer will you wade through lists of boring words in a regular thesaurus. No longer will you risk using a synonym that isn't quite the right word. Use The Thinker's Thesaurus, and from now on you'll find more interesting synonyms, you'll know what they mean, and you'll see them in actual use." -- Marion Street Press.
