This "pint sized" book is a wonderful aide in helping those of us who are poor spellers. It is difficult to look up the correct spelling of a word, when you don't know how to spell it correctly, or even close to correctly, to begin with. This book is the answer to that problem.I only wish it contained more words.

I believe that this book, the only one of its kind of which I am aware, answers that age-old question, "How can I find the correct spelling of a word by looking it up in a dictionary if I cannot spell the word to begin with?" This book lists words by their common, phonetic spellings (spelled the ways they sound). I have been tutoring/teaching English at a college for nearly thirty years, and whenever I introduce this book to a student, he or she is very enthusiastic about it! This book can be very helpful.

At three and one eight by five and five eights inches with red plastic cover this little Dictionary is awesome ! Best guess spelling starts the look up process until the right spelling is found ! Lots of leads and options homing in ! Hope makes it Fun ! Look And Sound A Likes follow, with the Quick List at the tail end ! Alphabetic order ! This little pocket wonder with clear small print is Neat ! Thank You !!!!

GREAT pocket-sized book. The best spellers are always those of us with a handy dictionary.These are even better. Never get words that SOUND the same mixed up again!There! They're few books better than theirs!Who'd've guessed? DON'T guess, look it up. Voila!"Big Mac"GERMANY

Great book for needy spellers! Love the compact size....can be carried in purse or pocket, if needed.

I thought I would be getting something better that the Instant Spelling Dictionary that I had for years. This book is rather old and is falling apart. To use the new one I have to use a magnifying glass. They have included too much other material which I don't need.

I bought this book for myself. I am a college intern and needed something handy for my process recordings. They are done by good old pencil and paper. Ive gotten so used to spell check on computers that my spelling has declined. This little book is discrete and comes in very handy.

I a great small book. It show the incorrect spelling and the correct spelling of each word, the second half the book is the words that look/ sound alike word. the end of the book quick list of word that is spelled correct.
