This is a wonderful thesaurus and my absolute favorite for excellent coverage of the English language and quality synonym hunting and finding. It is well constructed from high quality materials. As mentioned, it is comprehensive and excellent in its coverage. I have never failed to find the right word and shade of meaning while using it. I am a word nerd and dictionary nut, and this thesaurus is superlative. It is a joy to use. Seriously, if I could only have one thesaurus (electronic or book form), this would be it! The paper used is nice high quality stock, and with the typesetting they are using it makes it easy to read and find the entry. A great thesaurus!

I purchased the thesaurus after reading rich reviews. But I found it not as good as Rogers. Number of entry words are much much less.

Amazon doesn't cut corners. They delivered it real fast. I am amazed also at the quality of this book. I wish I had bought it when I started writing. Because English isn't my first language, using thesauruses and other writing resources has been of the essence to improve my writing; I have made extensive use of Merriam-Websters Thesaurus, the one with the yellow cover, in paperback. That one was good, but this Thesaurus by Oxford simply outdoes any other in quality and excellence.
