Dorothy Gale said Well worth the price.. Quick reference. Handy size. Print is easy to read. Perfect for those times that you are not near the computer, and just need to be certain that your spelling is correct. I actually keep this in my kitchen drawer.. Allan Jacobson said An excellent reference book that is portable. This is a spelling book on steroids. When a word has more than one spelling and more than one meaning, notations fill the void. Similar sounding words are explained. Words are divided into syllables. This simplifies pronunciation. This is an excellent reference book when English is your second language..
