An Excellent Reference

This is an essential tool for anyone interested in a good solid dictionary and the nuance of language. Compact and easy to use, this reference is an indispensable tool for academic study, prose/expository writing, poetry and homeschooling. Combining both dictionary and thesaurus in one saves a great deal of time. I keep a copy in my college backpack as well as next to my writing table. My teenage children find it useful for their studies as well.
