Forget an alphabetically organized thesaurus

Although one's search begins with an alphabetized listing, the main body of this thesaurus (its original concept) is organized by category. This means that to find a synonym for e.g., "trouble", you will not simply be presented a list all the possible meanings of the word but you can choose your search depending upon the sense you are looking for. If you mean "annoyance" you will be sent one place for synonyms (nouns, verbs, adj, adv); if your meaning is more "presume upon" you will be sent somewhere else. In the case of "trouble" there are about a dozen places to go in the thesaurus depending upon the subtlety of meaning you are looking for. If you are a writer, this reference work is a sine qua non. Look no further than here for the best thesaurus in the world.

Best thesaurus, bad font

They took a step backward with this 6th edition. I was set to replace my well-worn 4th edition; but no longer... The typesetters replaced the 4th edition's rather nice crisp clear font with one that is much less so. Perhaps this isn't a big deal if you're merely looking up a term here or there; but if you actively study your thesaurus, I suspect this edition will drive you nuts. Ms. Kipfer are you listening?

A must for anyone who uses the English language

When I was a freshman in college, my creative writing instructor insisted that we buy this book. Really, it has been the most useful, most-used book in my entire library--even surpassing my OED. As a professional writer, it is invaluable--I CANNOT write without it. I have one for home and work, and wish they made a portable edition to keep in my car.

Don't waste your money and time buying a thesaurus in dictionary form. In this edition, the words are grouped categorically by meaning, so you can find all the subtle variations and neighbors of "happy."

Every poet and writer should have one of these.

This makes a great gift for college students.

The best thesaurus I've seen so far.

I have looked at several different thesauruses. Of all, this one is the easiest to use, and the most comprehensive. I teach Japanese people English as a foreign language. It is so well organized that some of my students us this thesaurus instead of a dictionary!
