Roget's Thesaurus ranks as one of the greatest English language reference works, ideal for anyone wanting to write a letter, prepare a speech, solve a crossword, or write any manner of prose or poem. Its sales now number in the millions.
This edition has been revised and updated to include all the latest buzzwords and phrases from 'broadband' to 'mockney'. In addition, for the first time, the new Roget contains superbly useful panels of additional information that list such nuggets of information as signs of the zodiac and familiar quotations that have become an integral part of everyday life.
