 Writing reference March 3, 2008
The Synonym Finder is an excellent resource and should be on every writer's desk. This book was recommended to me and I am so pleased!
THE BEST SYNONYM HELP BOOK January 8, 2008
Flawless transaction, item as described, very happy with vendor and the way sale was handled, no problems at all, very prompt service, absolutely reliable. I love this book, if you need help with synonyms, this is the book!
Bring it Back! October 2, 2007
This tool, invaluable for anyone who takes seriously the written word, should never have gone out of print. I'm hoping to find copies for three grandchildren who have finally come to admire the simple declarative English sentence.

As a writer, I have found Rodale's Synonym Finder indispensible. As a friend to several foreign exchange students, I have given them this book to help them become more familiar with the intricacies and infinite variety of the very confusing, but very beautiful, English language

I am a budding writer. As part of my research for developing a freelance commercial writer practice, I read "The Well Fed Writer" by Peter Bowerman. In his discussion of writer tools, Bowerman recommended "Rodale's Synonym Finder" above all others.
Thesauri are a basic tool for writers. Most good writers have a command of the language. What's needed is a quick reference that gives alternative choices to words they have in mind. For examples, if they used a term earlier in a paragraph and wish to avoid repeated use of the same word, Rodale's alphabetical organization is preferable to the organization by subject found in the better-known Roget's Thesaurus.
Roget's will always be the gold standard of thesauri, but when time is of the essence, Rodale is the ticket.
