1: Great book
In high school they used Word Smart as part of the curriculum for SAT prep. At the time we hated it, but now as an adult I'm glad that I saved the book in my parents' closet because I dug it out to use once again as a reference. The book is well-organized, well-written, and a fantastic resource. As a writer I have started studying this book once again, and will probably buy Volume II soon.

2: One of the best!!! It's worth your money.
I have several other books on vocabulary. I rate this one is the best and now most indispensable.
|
3: Great purchase
Book was in excellent condition. It is a great tool to help build one's vocabulary.

4: These three books are permanently placed on my working desk, next to my portable computer!
Word Smart: Building an Educated Vocabulary
Word Smart II: How to Build a More Powerful Vocabulary
by Adam Robinson
Word Smart for Business: Cultivating a Six Figure Vocabulary
by Paul West Brook
These three books are permanently placed on my working desk, next to my portable computer. I find them very useful as reference guides to writing smart.
The first two books have a combined inventory of almost 1,700 important words. They have been written by Adam Robinson & The Princeton Review Team. As some readers may know, Adam Robinson happens to be also the author of 'What Smart Students Know' a very good book about smart study techniques. The two books are originally targetted at students preparing for SAT & other standardised tests, but I find them very useful for working professionals.
The third book has an inventory of over 4,000 important business terms, covering quite a broad spectrum of business disciplines. It has been written by a noted financial planning expert.
I enjoy browsing these three books from time to time. I often refer to them as I write my daily business correspondence as well as my reviews on amazon website.
I strongly recommend these three books to readers who want to communicate effectively, be more persuasive & more importantly, get more from your reading.
