1: dictionary and thesaurus combined
Great space saver of having two reference books a dictionary and thesaurus combined into one book.
|
2: One of the best
This one ranks among the top three paperback dictionaries I've used. However, I think the reason that its number of words is limited is because this is also a thesaurus. I couldn't find the following words from Harry Potter: prat, skive(off), git, and chunter.

3: The Oxford Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus
My son took my dictionary with him when he moved to San Francisco. Since I needed another one, I decided to give this one a try. It is a great little dictionary for the money... very detailed and I can keep in in my handbag if needed.

4: Have Your Maginfying Glass Handy
The Oxford Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus is an up-to-date, handy, clear reference book for one's reading table. I wanted a dictionary of American English. Success.
However, I wasted my money because of one problem: the font size is undersized (six-point maximum) to be practical if one's eyesight is less than 20/20 or you're over 50-years old. I'm going back to my 1978 Pocket Oxford Dictionary rather than strain my eyes; to the devil with words younger than 28-years old. Using a magnifying glass defeats two important objectives: convenience and portability.

5: Excellent
I think this is one of the best and easiest thesauruses I have ever had. Not only does it have the definition but all the alternate words you can use are right behind it.
I think it's EXCELLENT!
