Reviews for The Thinker´s Thesaurus: Sophisticated Alternatives to Common Words
"This book will lend hours of pleasure-as well as help you preserve the highest layers of the English vocabulary."
John McWhorter, author of The Language Hoax "A million dollars' worth of fifty-cent words."
Erin McKean, editor, Verbatim "Delves into the mostly untapped reservoir of the English lexicon, offering readers more than top-of-mind word choices."
