My only complaint, and it is not something most persons would consider a complaint, is that the font size is small. I realize that any larger and the book would be bigger, but for older adults, it is hard to read. otherwise, it is an excellent reference book

Definitions are in regular print and synonyms are in Gray beneath each word.. Nice that they're combined so you don't have to search twice. Got it for my son so he wouldn't rely on the internet to search for vocabulary definitions. He thinks it's torture. Totally worth every penny. I just wish it was hard back because we've had it maybe a couple weeks and the paper cover is already all torn up.

I thought it would be nice to have the thesaurus with the dictionary but when the words are so small to read I feel like separate books would have been better. Still planning to use.
