Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Needs to be E X P A N D E D
Review: Good, useful information, but when I contacted the publisher to see if there was a revised edition,
I hit a stone wall. No one wanted to admit that such a book existed; no one had any means of reaching the author.

I've penned in my own updates to Section VII. "Homonyms, Homophones, and Other Confusingly Similar Words":

caricature - distorted representation;
character - distinguishing feature

compatible - existing in harmony;
comparable - worthy of comparison;
comparative - pertaining to comparison

envelop - to enclose completely;
envelope - a wrapper, esp. the container for a letter

guarantee - an assurance of quality;
guaranty - a security pledged in a guarantee

relic - momento, something venerated (esp. a saint);
relict - something left unchanged in a process of change

therefor - in return for that;
therefore - consequently, for that reason

unfeasible - not practical;
infeasible - (there is no such word)

viscous - having a sticky consistency;
vicious - addicted to vice, malicious;
vicissitude - a change or succession


I'd definitely like to find a more up to date version!
