The revolutionary, all-in-one writers vocabulary/dictionary/thesaurus/almanac reference.
Glazier's critically acclaimed Random House Webster's Word Menu is the definitive vocabulary and language reference for a writer or anyone who reads, writes creatively or simply loves to explore linguistic relationships.
This rich storehouse of language organizes the vocabulary of English by subject matter, reflecting the way we actually look at the world around us. A totally new kind of language resource, Random House Webster's Word Menu combines the virtues of an entire shelf of reference works:
- Full dictionary, thesaurus and almanac
- Reverse dictionary: when you can't think of the obscure word you're looking for, find it by looking up the common word you already know
- Multiple glossaries: find just the right terms for foods and finery, weather and weapons, romance and relativity

Reader Reviews
Rating 5 of 5 - A Must Have Vocabulary Reference for Writers!
I have several copies of the Word Menu at each of my work stations. The way this dictionary-like book is indexed is terrific. You can look up topics to find related words. This is a great addition to a word reference library. If you need a better word to describe what you want to say, this is the perfect book that will help you find that exact word. A must for writers!
Rating 2 of 5 - Font Much Too Small
This Ballantine Books edition of Glazier's useful book is printed in a font that is *very* hard to read. There have been/are other larger editions of this book that use larger fonts and are more readable. I suggest you try to obtain one of them.
While searching for larger editions, I also discovered--but did not examine-software versions of this volume as well for both Microsoft-based and Macintosh computers.
Rating 5 of 5 - The Dictio-saurus that thinks like a Search Engine.
This book is as creative as it is unique. As a professional advertising copywriter, I use Dictionaries, Thesaurus, and just about every other standard source of word reference. For naming projects, however, I never go past this book. It works like a search engine - allowing you to search by broad categories or for specific niche areas. I've really grown to love this book and recommend it to anyone who likes to play or work with words.
