Publisher's Synopsis

Some 6000 commonly used - and confused - words are defined, contrasted and compared. Each entry provides a headword and group of synonyms, a definition of each word in the group, examples of the different ways in which the words can be used, figurative, positive and negative uses, comparisons between the words in the group and their relative suitability, and a list of antonyms.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
