Webster's New World Thesaurus Paperback Book by Charlton Laird Warner Books 1987
WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD THESAURUS is: Modern-psychology and linguistic research used so that the book will work the way the human mind works
Fast and easy to use-no complicated number system leading to unassorted lists
Organized for ready reference-entries in alphabetical order, but with some common synonyms coming early, where the user sees them at once
Based on the right word list-entries are the commonest words, not the rare words that few people think of looking up
Forward-looking-new areas of meaning-for space terms, for terms in the new grammar, for medical specialists, and the like Calculated to improve writing-good writing grows partly from concrete uses, substituting specific terms like skiff and catama- ran for general terms like boat
A mine of phrases-in phrases words develop special uses, and great areas of modern meaning have been taken over by phrases neglected in other word finders
PLUS: A section of synonymies-explaining differences of meaning among hundreds of words
