For years, I used a tiny, vinyl covered synonym reference book. Now, finally, I have a thorough volume (945 pages). The synonyms are in alphabetical order, alleviating the inconvenience of flipping back and forth between an index and the corresponding synonyms. There is an informative and interesting Introduction; there are wonderful quotations which serve as examples of precise usage; and there are "antonyms, analoguous words, and contrasting words." Any casual or serious writer will find this book to be a treasure trove of just the right words to be used at just the right time.
