Summary: Great Reference
Review: This is a great reference. I love the way it's arranged in dictionary form. As well as original alternatives for words it also includes slang words, which is nice for writing. It is 957 pages long, not including the introduction; but the number does include the Concept Index. The actual thesaurus is 889 pages long and is in quite small print. It's a second edition and just like it says on the cover, it's easy to use. It is edited by the Princeton Language Institute.

Summary: They have taken the name "ROGET'S" and run with it!!!
Review: This stinker is in DICTIONARY format. DICTIONARY format is not, to use a euphemism, for the (another euphemism) intelligensia.The thing is overfat and the typeface is so tiny not even my best bifocals are not able to [whoops! need a REAL thesaurus]. Go for the Roget's International. That one is in TRADITIONAL format: a word list in the back with reference to a number leading to a logical IDEA-ORIENTED section towards the front. This stinker is nothing more than a LEXICON FOR DUMMIES!!!

Summary: Why so tiny?
Review: This thesaurus really is perfect. The most comprehensive I have ever seen. But the font is too small to read comfortably for most rather elderly adults. Do buy the Paperback edition, whose font is a litter bigger.
