I want my money back!,

This review is from: The Complete Rhyming Dictionary (Hardcover)
Being a lyricist (ck. home.earthlink.net/~paulkruger), I've been using Wood's Unabridged Rhyming Dictionary for so many years the book has begun to fall aprt. (Never realized till a few weeks ago, the edition I have was published in 1943.) It was time to replace it. Or so I thought.Clement Wood's genius was to divide each section so that you could see at a glance words which have the same sound (e.g., approved, improved, reproved, etc.) and, therefore, were not true rhymes. So what does this appallingly dreadful edition do? They list all words alphabetically regardless of sound! No wonder one of the editors is named Bogus.

British buyers beware!,
By
This review is from: The Complete Rhyming Dictionary (Hardcover)
Finding rhymes by phonetics is something you will appreciate in time, and it really isn't all that hard, even for foreigners like myself. The book is large, well-structured, and has a lot of what we are all looking for: Rhymes. Unfortunately, the rhymes are US English rhymes, which for the UK English speaker (and some Canadians) means:1. Wrong phonetics for some words. Try as you might with your British ear, "fire" is not where it's supposed to be. But this is of course a problem with all US made rhyming dictionaries. If you are a US buyer, there is no reason for you not to buy the book.

indispensable for any lyricist or songwriter,
By
This review is from: The Complete Rhyming Dictionary (Paperback)
This is truly an amazing accomplishment by Mr Wood. His work is appreciated by writers everywhere as an indispensable tool for lyric writing and understanding of the mechanics of speech , sound , and the relationship of meter and rhythm. It contains detailed explanation of assonance and metric feet and other vitally important aspects of lyric writing. I use it to help in difficult situations and it is an amazing timesaver as well as inspirational source of ideas. I don't even sit down to write without it.
