Author Description

The Collins English Thesaurus continues to be a useful wordfinder for every occasion. This new edition has been revised and updated to provide the maximum choice of words in the most helpful layout. When the first edition of the Collins English Thesaurus was published in 1995, it widened the concept of the thesaurus by providing not only a comprehensive choice of alternative words, but also a range of fascinating and useful information connected with many entry words - quotations, proverbs, and subject word lists. In this edition, the most helpful synonyms in each entry are given first and highlighted so that they can be found instantly. Full antonym lists are included for many key entries to provide another way of expressing yourself.
