September 27, 2009: This was a great idea to combine a dictionary and Thesauras in one, and that is what attracted me to this. Unfortunately, when you try to combine the two in this size, something has to give. It is not real comprehensive, and is missing words. Still, all in all, it is a good purchase for convenience.

September 05, 2009: Believe it or not, I use this dictionary/thesaurus several times a week. So I keep it handy. My children are always asking for quick answers to educational questions, and this book has solved their queries every time. I like it's compact size and blue/black lettering. Published in 2007, it is up-to-date with the latest vocabulary of our time. I have used the quick-reference appendix many times. My best description for this book is the all-in-one dictionary! A great addition to our home library!
