“I am happy to champion, defend, patronize, espouse, stand up for, recommend, sing the praises of, tout, and hype… The Synonym Finder.” – William Safire, New York Times
“Every so often one finds oneself trying to think of a certain exact word, buried frustratingly in the back of the mind. The Synonym Finder could be the answer. Just take a word of the same general meaning and chances are that the wanted word will show among the synonyms. The book abounds (teems, flourishes, overflows) in such helpful entries. And for one just seeking a straight synonym this volume provides a cup that runneth over.” – Will Weng, former Crossword Puzzle Editor, New York Times
“For the writer-craftsman, what a marvelous box of tools.” – James J. Kilpatrick, Syndicated Columnist
“Highly recommended to help you avoid using the same word too repetitively, redundantly, recurrently, incessantly, etc., etc.” – San Francisco Chronicle
