ROGET'S INTERNATIONA EDITION

The binding is not proper. A couple of bulging bunches. Some minute.dog's ear ends to, even before using.

The media could not be loaded.  The book is best for those who are in writing profession - blogging, editing, script writer, content writers, this book is used for mostly to look up words and similar words.The Book has Synopsis of Categories in the first in fifteen class divided - from Class One: The Body and the senses and the topics are listed from 1. Birth 2. The Hair 3. Body ... to Class Fifteen: Science and Technology 1017. Mathematics 1018. Physics ... 1079. Space Travel.And in the last it has index of words - like for the word "able" it has three synonyms capable 18.14, fitted 405.17, competent 413.24 possible 966.6 - turn the section to see the similar words in the section mentioned.This book quite serves the purpose of researching words.I like English language, so this was my second book in my collection. In my professional writing job, I sometimes look up words - to day we can see words in the internet, but sometimes a handy reference is sometimes necessary.The book is not dictionary, rather a reference for writers - to use it to look up words. The novelists can opt for reference but for writing purpose use, it is most suitable.Amazon: I bought this from uRead Store but book delivered was old one - I should have opt for the latest edition with hardcover, which would have costed me 200 more.If your purpose is to write and be writer you can have this handy reference useful.

I think every writer should have this thesaurus.Pretty easy to use as well.Happy with the purchase!

It’s a useful book. The arrangement in the book might be a little tricky. Words are divided as per concepts and and an index. The paperback cover can get creased easily.

A treasure for the lover of language and words. A must have for anyone that chooses to write good language.

Very essential and helpful book for writers and learners.

Fantastic purchase

An absolute treat for anyone looking to expand their vocabulary but my oh my the size of this book ! or maybe that's just me because i'm not used to dealing with a 1000-plus-pages book. Anyway, if that's not a deal-breaker then this is your treasure trove. I ordered a hardcover and considering the ungodly size of it, it's worth the extra bucks. I like how it has multiple ways to guide you towards the word/phrase that you're looking for.Uploading a few pictures for references.

very good

子どもの語学学習用に購入。既に親よりも語学面でのスキルが高いので指導することはできませんが、環境だけは整えたいと思い色々と買い揃えています。

Oxford や Webster 等のシソーラスを補完したい場合は有用だと思いますが、1冊だけのシソーラスとしては使いにくいと思われます。良い点：・同義語の意味分けが詳細で表現が多彩。・カテゴリ分けなので周辺の語を調べるのに向いている。以上2点がメインです。これが不要なら無用の巨大本となる可能性が。・主要語が太字で拾いやすい・行動・心理・生活一般・人文系は網羅が厚い。・個人的にはカテゴリ分けが面白い。ほほう人間の行動はこう分類するのね、など日本語と違う世界観が。いまひとつな点：・アルファベット順の検索は、後半インデックスで探して参照先の前半で詳細を見るという二度手間。（後半に列挙の同義語で解決する場合も）。・例文がない・単語により内容の過不足がある・・と思う一因は日本人だからでしょう。・カテゴリ分けの見出し語は、後半インデックスでは、見出し語であるとの表示なし。　（例：Inquiry ー　前半のカテゴリ見出し語（広義）下には38の項目があるが、後半インデックス（狭義）では同義語が5つある「普通の単語」扱いのみ）・古い。 geek すら無い・・不満な部分もありますが、個人的には、とても使える・早く買えばよかった本です。

こういう辞書がほしかった。単なる英英辞書ではありませんので購入時には注意が必要です。しかし、いろいろな表現方法や類語を学ぶ事が出来るのでとてもためになります。英語初心者には多少ハードルが高いように思いますが、高校生以上であれば活用できると思います。

[TLDR] This thesaurus is organized in Roget's original fashion, by concepts and ideas. The index has numbering for subentries. All pages are present, but 60 pages are not cut correctly leaving an overhang which doesn't affect readability. I'm keeping it.I set out to replace my damaged thesaurus and really wanted to keep Roget's original organization by concepts and ideas and the numbered index, so I chose this edition. At first look out of the box, the book has a minor flaw: a chunk of pages (pp. 933-994) are sticking out from the rest of the book (see: 4 pictures). I opened to those pages and tugged gently to check if they were loose. After discovering that they are not loose, I am led to believe those pages were simply not cut to the correct length. As far as I can tell, they pose no problem to using the thesaurus so I will keep it. I flipped through every page and checked page numbers, and all pages are present. There are ink spots on a few of the index pages (no more than 10), but they do not cover any words.
