The Synonym Finder
Customer Rating:
This is the most fantastic reference tool I have ever used! Every nuance of meaning for any word you can think of. The perfect writer's tool.
Best synonym resource period!
Customer Rating:
I have own a number of thesauruses in my day, but no one compares with the Synonym Finder by Rodale. The invaluable resource not only gives you dozens of alternative words, it also includes archaic and rare usages, too.
Simply the best!
Although I rarely use these types of books when I'm writing my first draft, The Synonym Finder and it's companion, published by the same author, Word Finder, is never far from my reach during the re-writes. My only complaint would be that I haven't yet found it in software form.
excellent help for writing classes
Customer Rating:
Although Mr Rodale is known for his studies in the area of organic gardening, his synonym finder is excellent. Easy to use, without having to do cross referencing, the book has numerous words to choose from.
An Invaluable Resource!
Customer Rating:
This is an amazing book which is the last word in Thesauruses. It is over 1,350 pages. I have written three books using this Synonym finder and have found it to be invaluable! My copy has so many dog ears I probably need to open a kennel.
The Re-Discovery of Common Sense: A Guide to: The Lost Art of Critical Thinking
A necessity for any writer
Customer Rating:
Although this is an older title I still use it quite frequently. If you do any kind of writing, whether academic/legal/leisure I highly recommend this book. Sometimes I just can't find the right word to convey the intended message so I open this up and 9 times out of 10 I come away with the word I'm looking for.
