Synopsis

You can't locate a word or expression in a dictionary unless you have a reasonable idea of the spelling of the word-which is extremely unlikely if you aren't certain exactly which word you're looking for to begin with. That's where this amazing reference helps you as no other word book can...because it is a dictionary in reverse. You alone know what thoughts you are trying to express-thus, you supply the meaning or idea, and Sisson's Word an Expression Locator furnishes you with the precise word or expression that best fits that meaning. Yes, with this remarkable volume, you can start with any idea and find not only scores of synonyms for a given world, but dozens of related words, phrases and expressions-carefully graded according to their fine shades of meaning, and all int urn placed within close proximity to hundreds of words expression the same or similar ideas or concepts. As an indication of its comprehensiveness, you need only examine such entries as "word" (134 entries and 305 definitions). Business executives, teachers, speakers, authors, journalists, in fact anyone who seeks to express his or her thoughts with precision and effectiveness, will find it to be a wellspring of thousands of choices to overcome boring cliches and hackneyed expressions so often encountered
