There is also a new introduction by noted language commentator Ben Zimmer. Review: The absolute best! A superlative thesaurus! Buy it. - This is a wonderful thesaurus and my absolute favorite for excellent coverage of the English language and quality synonym hunting and finding. It is well constructed from high quality materials. As mentioned, it is comprehensive and excellent in its coverage. I have never failed to find the right word and shade of meaning while using it. I am a word nerd and dictionary nut, and this thesaurus is superlative. It is a joy to use. Seriously, if I could only have one thesaurus (electronic or book form), this would be it! The paper used is nice high quality stock, and with the typesetting they are using it makes it easy to read and find the entry. A great thesaurus! Review: Full of information. - Very informative. Is full of information, word tips, writing tips, and lots everything having to do with writing and words. I found myself reading it as if the Thesaurus was a book. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #66,986 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #27 in Creative Writing & Composition #31 in Thesauruses (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 731 Reviews | ## Images ![Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tkkBzqQhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The absolute best! A superlative thesaurus! Buy it. *by D***S on February 1, 2026* This is a wonderful thesaurus and my absolute favorite for excellent coverage of the English language and quality synonym hunting and finding. It is well constructed from high quality materials. As mentioned, it is comprehensive and excellent in its coverage. I have never failed to find the right word and shade of meaning while using it. I am a word nerd and dictionary nut, and this thesaurus is superlative. It is a joy to use. Seriously, if I could only have one thesaurus (electronic or book form), this would be it! The paper used is nice high quality stock, and with the typesetting they are using it makes it easy to read and find the entry. A great thesaurus! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full of information. *by D***R on June 13, 2026* Very informative. Is full of information, word tips, writing tips, and lots everything having to do with writing and words. I found myself reading it as if the Thesaurus was a book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource & then some *by R***A on November 26, 2016* This is an outstanding thesaurus in just about every respect. I have several different versions on my shelf, but this is the one I reach for every time. I have yet to look up a word and not find it (as has happened with the other versions). It's formatted like a dictionary, meaning there are synonyms listed for each meaning/definition of the word, making it easy to find the *right* synonym for how you intended to use it. In addition, each definition includes a sentence (in italics) to demonstrate how the word is typically used. Personally, I find that really helpful. It's also very comprehensive, often listing words AND phrases that I don't find in other references or from an online thesaurus (which I also frequently use, simply for convenience). I've also found that the suggested synonyms are more closely related to one another, unlike the online version which seems to cast a really wide net when it comes to synonyms. I get more accurate and more descriptive words with this book than I do with any other source. The thesaurus also includes "extras" that ordinarily I would probably never even glance at, but in this case actually find helpful. The thematic lists are limited, but if you just need a random example (like a specific breed of dog or butterfly) then it's easier than wading through google. And, if you want to pepper your work with spiffy latin phrases or archaic words, then those lists makes it really easy to sound far more intelligent than you actually are. And yes, I'll admit it - I've even skimmed the grammar section at the back. Damned commas. A note on the "stories" - yes, there are lots of "notes" and "quotes" interspersed throughout the book. Personally, I enjoy them and find them informative. Most of them are just odds & ends - funky "word links" you've never heard of or clever quotes, but they're entertaining in a Trivial Pursuit kind of way and don't get in the way of looking something up. Honestly, if you take the time to read them you actually learn something and it does add to your overall understanding of whatever you just looked up - at least it does for me. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with this thesaurus. Well worth the expensive price tag IMO. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2554098-oxford-american-writers-thesaurus](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2554098-oxford-american-writers-thesaurus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
