The Oxford Colour Thesaurus

Book excerpt: Using the text of the Little Oxford Thesaurus, this popular Oxford Thesaurus has now been revised with a new appendix. With 150,000 synonyms, it is bigger than competing thesauruses of its size, and provides more help in the form of example phrases and context labels than other similar products. Colour highlighting of key information in each entry greatly enhance the book's ease of use, and a new `dictionary skills' appendix helps the user get more out of the thesaurus by providing questions (and answers) which test vocabulary skills. This thesaurus is the ideal companion to the Oxford Colour Dictionary.
