If you do a lot of reading or any writing;you can't get far without a good Dictionary to start with;then you'll also need a good Thesaurus to follow through.But, which of the many to choose? I have several of each,but this one is different,and I will probably keep it handy because it will serve my purposes ,most of the time.I know ,at times it will not meet all my needs;but in those cases,I can turn to the bigger ones. The layout of this book is very ingenius (see,The proper spelling is "ingenious" and another word which gives similar meaning is "skillful"--all on the same page).The thing that makes this book different ,is that each page is split; with the dictionary part at the top of the page and the thesaurus at the bottom. Thus,one need only to make one search for both.An alternate would be to have the Dictionary at the front ,with the Thesaurus at the back---not nearly as handy. Another plus with this book is that the paper,printing and construction is very good for a paperback edition. The one thing with a paperback dictionaty is that the binding can weaken and break with a lot of use. This one looks pretty good and even lies open very well.Tugging at individual pages,they seem very well adhered to the binding.However; time and use will tell;but I suspect it will serve very well for personal use.Also,with respect to paperback Dictionaries,the paper is often very poor,more suitable for newspapers or mass market "Dimestore Novels"; and with the print size too small and poor contrast with the cheap paper.This is very important when thumbing through pages searching.I find flipping through this one excptionally good;and that has to be because of the heavy paper. The paper is heavy,very white and the print is large enough,assisted by the high constrast.
