[SmarterLilac · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kind of embarrassing to admit, but I probably use this little book twice a week. It's very user friendly and does seem to contain just about every word I habitually misspell. Its only flaw is that I think it could be a bit longer, but I guess that would interfere with how convenient it is to use.

A terrific, quick correct spelling reference guide. It simply lists the most widely used spelling of each word.
