The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate (Highly Selective Reference)
by By Ehrlich, Eugene
Category: Reference , Thesauri

A slim reference with a cute title, introduced by Noah Adams of PBS radio's "All Things Considered" and compiled by writer and logophile Ehrlich, who judges that program's word contests. Most people will find more of what they want in an inclusive thesaurus; but the selectivity and donnish orientation make this more  gemntlich  than standard references. Lacks cross-references.
