How can you not like a book that does nothing more than relate one word to another? The thesaurus is a work of art. It's not like a dictionary which lays out definitions, but more like a map of meaning.

I swear by this one. Dates from sometime in the 1960s? Still better than any thesaurus I've picked up since. No lie, son, no lie.

[Katja Labonté · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best thesauruses I’ve read, with the most amount of synonyms I ever saw.

I also have the Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. Have no idea how I ended up with two of these.

Roget - a synonym for "thesaurus".

An indispensable reference work, that hasn't been displaced by any other. The internet is certainly quicker, but I can't seem to part with my old reliable.
