Synopsis
Do you find that your regular thesaurus spits out the same old words already running through your head? Are the lists boring, repetitive, and generally unhelpful? Peter E. Meltzer thought so and decided to create a unique thesaurus that would offer interesting, original synonyms along with contextual examples. He quotes from a range of recent media--including books and hundreds of magazines and newspapers--to reassure readers that though the words might be unfamiliar, they are all completely legitimate words in current use. The first edition was the top-selling thesaurus in the United States on numerous occasions. The second edition has been expanded by 50 percent and includes a new introduction that lays out the goals and methods of the thesaurus. This highly entertaining and informative book is truly a dream come true, not only for logophiles but for anyone wishing to enhance their writing through these wonderful words.

Review
"If you love words, you will be hooked on this book." -- TheCelebrityCafe.com "Delves into the mostly untapped reservoir of the English lexicon, offering readers more than top-of-mind word choices." -- "Dow Jones Newsletter" "A special, offbeat supplement to a general compendium of synonyms." --"The New York Times" "One of the most distinctive features of the book is its use of proper names as synonyms." --"Chicago Tribune" "If you love words, you will be hooked on this book." --TheCelebrityCafe.com "Meltzer's thesaurus may not be a new wheel, but it's definitely a new way to roll." --"The Philadephia Enquirer" "Delves into the mostly untapped reservoir of the English lexicon, offering readers more than top-of-mind word choices." --"Dow Jones Newsletter" "Endlessly readable and wonderfully instructive." --Robert Hartwell Fiske, author, "The Dimwit's Dictionary" "Endlessly readable and wonderfully instructive." -- Robert Hartwell Fiske, author, "The Dimwit's Dictionary" "A million dollars' worth of fifty-cent words." -- Erin McKean, editor, "Verbatim" "A million dollars' worth of fifty-cent words." --Erin McKean, editor, "Verbatim"
