Anyone who uses words may benefit from owning a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms, and this volume--pocket-sized and inexpensive--serves this duty as well or better than any other. I can't even begin to remember how long I have owned A DICTIONARY OF SYNONYMS AND ANTONYMS by Joseph Devlin, but I can say that I keep it on my desk and consult it whenever I feel particularly bland, unimaginative, or stupid.
