[.ca] The Concise Roget's International Thesaurus (ISBN 0060094796)

Another one for the library.:
This is another book to add to your personal library if you are the type of person who has ever had to find that special word that says it all.

Maybe not an everyday item, but an essential one for writers:
If you write, either as an author or in some capacity for your profession, and you want to write in a way that is not dry and repetitive, having a Roget's Thesaurus handy is essential. Many of us have favorite words, words that we use very comfortably, but they might not always be the best word in every situation where we use them. When you want your writing to be its best, use a thesaurus to branch out beyond your usual vocabulary. If used judiciously, your writing will become more sophisticated, creative, and interesting.
