Two language experts map your way to greater vocabulary power via history, folklore, and anecdote, as they tell All About Words - how they, began, how they developed, and exactly what they mean. Here's an exhilarating, easy way to learn a word... and never forget it! With games, puzzles, exercise, and a whole battery of challenging tests.
"The authors of this book address themselves partly to people who are fascinated by such delving into the ancestry of words. But they also address themselves to those who wish to enlarge their vocabulary, and more narrowly, to those who face examinations that include vocabulary questions. All such readers will find the book of value, and they will probably have as much fun reading it as the authors had writing it."

About The Book
Opens up the entire rich resource of the English language as no other reference book can.
It is a new concept in word reference books, a book whose simple and unique purpose is to help you find the words that will quickly, accurately, and effectively express your thoughts, concepts, emotions, and mental imagery.
THE COMPREHENSIVE WORD GUIDEis more than a book of synonyms and does far more than provide lists of similar or substitute words to use in place of ones you already know. It is an essential companion to the dictionary and will actually translate your thoughts into precise, forceful, descriptive language. It is not necessary to have a specific word in mind for which you need a synonym.
The alphabetical index, together with the novel and ingenious arrangement of words in interrelated categories, will pinpoint the exact word you need even if you start with only the name of a subject or can think of only a single word connected with the subject. You can even start with a definition and find the word to fit it. With more than 1,20,000 accurate useful word rentries, this is more than a book of synonyms and more than a book of usage...
