Description: "The Oxford Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus offers a thoroughly integrated blend of entries from the dictionary and the thesaurus. This unified approach, treating meanings and related words within the same entry, makes it easy to find - in one place - an abundance of information about words, and provides a far deeper sense of the variety and nuances of our language than is possible in a dictionary or thesaurus alone.

Plus, each synonym is precisely matched to the correct meaning of the word you're looking up so that you'll find the right word every time."--BOOK JACKET.
