Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.

Average Customer Rating:   good stories I got this book in an instant on my Kindle and so far I love it. I haven't yet read all the stories but the ones I have read I have really enjoyed. It's really easy to read even though it's written in an old style. Free SF Reader
Another collection somewhat like Twelve Stories and a Dream, with a mixture of genres. This one throws in a couple of darkly humoured pieces in the last three stories. The best are Empire of the Ants and The Country of the Blind.
