Review on Large Print Thesaurus
Customer Rating:
This was a gift, and although the person really liked the book and is what he wanted, I was a little disappointed that the hard cover on the book was bent.
Excellent Thesaurus for Visually Impaired Students
Customer Rating:
I purchased this book for my daughter, who has Retinitus Pigmentosa (a degenerative retinal disorder). She cannot read the small typeface that most dictionaries and thesauruses use. She is able to read this one without magnifying equipment.
The typeface is clean and easily readable. Keywords are printed in bold and are easy for her to browse through. The example sentences are in italics, so she has some trouble reading them at times.
Good Points ----------- + Relatively inexpensive + Classic and sturdy Red leather-like hardcover binding with color jacket + Bright white paper stock provides good contrast so the visually impaired read comfortably + "Bonus" listing of adjectives, nouns, sciences, etc. in the back of the book + Well suited for an elementary or middle school vocabulary.
Bad Points ---------- - Will not contain some words that an advanced high school student would encounter.
Large Print Roget's II Thesaurus
Customer Rating:
Great book for elementary school kids who need a Theasurus and have a hard time reading the standard very small print Thesauruses. Easy to find the desired word. Because of the large print size, it is not as exhaustive (3500 entries) compared to other standard Thesauruses.
