Portable means of improving your language.

good quality for the price
I like the product, but the delivery not so much. The driver rang the bell once , I answered and then nothing, he had left. Another resident then knocked on my door a presented me with the item which had been left outside.

Faithful Friend
My second edition of the ‘Oxford Paperback Thesaurus’ from 2001 has been a faithful friend but it now has crumbling pages plus several strips of sellotape holding the book together. It was a straightforward and satisfying choice to replace with the fourth edition published in 2018, and it is pleasing to note that content is as good as ever with incorporation of many new words from updating of the latest ‘Oxford English Dictionary’.Major features remain the same for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs etc. with synonyms, opposites, different senses, formal, archaic, humorous etc. plus indication of source. As extra to my previous edition this recent publication incorporates a ‘Wordfinder’ with numerous headings and lists to group words for such categories embracing animals, food and drink, clothing, the body, medicine and illnesses, science and technology, transport etc.The print font remains clear as before with pages in two columns, but instead of both right and left justification the layout is left justified only. For me this makes it clearer to see, and the inclusion of tabs on pages for each letter of the alphabet makes it clearer to use. I look forward to many years’ service from this user-friendly 5-star replacement.
