Anyone who has found themselves stumped for the best and most appropriate word or who wants to avoid repetition - whether student or writer, politician or advertiser, after-dinner speaker or crossword fanatic - will find this easy-to-use dictionary invaluable on every occasion. Pen in hand or at the typewriter, we spend hours scratching pur heads and asking ourselves questions like those. This classic reference book, originally published as The New Nuttall Dictionary of English Synonyms and Antonyms, in print since 1943 and now completely revised and updated, will provide all the answers quickly and easily. For speakers (and orators) and writers (and scribes) it will prove invaluable (as well as valuable, priceless but not pricey). For lovers of language (paramours of phraseology?) it will offer hours of entertainment and instruction.
