Yes I agree that this is a good thesaurus and well put together and organized into catagories that are easy to find and the index is great but I wish they included more words but when I look back to when I bough this book I do think that it was good for the price and it is quite handy but I would advise high school and college students to look for a more comprohensive thesaurus but this is good for when you are doing things like writing a letter and are tired of using the same words and want a different word that means the same thing.
As other reviews have said this is an excellent thesaurus that is very handy and user friendly, it is very clear, concise and well organized and it is so far the best thesaurus I have come by and the one that I recommend.
The Best!

This very handy and useful thesaurus is one of my most valuable aids to the English language. It makes me write with more impact while steadily enhancing my command of words. Its the first step to making words work for you.
