Description
Arranged in an easy-to-use A-Z form, this thesaurus offers a wide selection of synonyms for a whole host of words, ranging from the everyday to the comparatively esoteric and from standard vocabulary to contemporary slang and jargon ("e-tailer", "chill out"). Each entry is simple to follow, and where a word has several different senses, these are clearly indicated and explained.
