For the first time in over a century here is a totally new and different thesaurus which guides the user in seconds to the word he needs in a particular situation and provides him with a wider range of relevant terms without confusing him with indexes and misleading him with long lists of undiscriminated words lumped together. Some of the special features:
. A concise definition at each main entry- a thesaurus innovation- takes the guesswork and error out of word selection.
. Word usage is further clarified by a brief illustration of the main entry word used in context.
. Simple alphabetical organization throughout eliminates the tedious problems of hunting through an index several times and makes word-finding fast and easy.
. Thousands of antonyms, related words (near synonyms), contrasted words (near antonyms), and idioms provide –additional up-to-date information and guidance
Drawn from the unparalleled Websters Third Unabridged and based on the massive Merriam-Webster word files, Websters Collegiate Thesaurus sets a new standard of accuracy, clarity, and utility.
